When child actors act well they're just reacting to situations, and they're acting very real because their life experience is so short; there's no history to fall back on.

But the experience that I had, which was basically just feeling loved and taken care of in a room full of thousands of people I didn't know, seemed to be a pretty strong sign that what I was doing was a good thing.

I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening.

My problems aren't so different from anybody else.

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

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.

I believe that everybody comes from pain and a certain amount of dysfunction.
