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

I don't take myself terribly seriously. It's why I can be incredibly honest about my life.

I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened.

We live in a society that is afraid of ways of being it doesn't understand.

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.

Mental health and mental balance is critical to leading a healthy life.

I'm really excited to act again because when I started out, there was an innocent sort of perception of the world that was coming though me, and I think now through a lot of experience and life and understanding, I've come full circle to having a purer response to things. So my craft will be really interesting to work from this place because I think acting is about being in tune with yourself - or maybe the struggle to be in tune with yourself.
