I was taken by the romanticism of being thought of as an adult and living in a world that was completely new to me. I fell in love with acting then.

I say to people, keep it simple. If you want to change your food, change your breakfast.

How you live your life can affect your mental state.

A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you.

Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.

I'm an extremely vulnerable person. Vulnerability and emotion are very closely linked.

Since I come from a family of mental instability, and I have suffered depression myself, I knew that living in shame is senseless and painful, and that by talking about it, I have come to peace with it. The stigma behind people's suffering needs to end. We as a community need to embrace these disorders, try to understand them (if only just to talk about them) so that we can cease being defined by them.
