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 think talent, especially in acting, is being wholly yourself within the context of yourself.

I'm not that old, and I haven't lived a life so far from the ordinary, really.

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

I really felt that I had to stay level, I had to control, I had to know what I was eating, I had to know what I was doing, I had to work out. All that stuff is very powerful and it really helps, but now I don't do it out of survival. At first, I was just trying to survive. I assumed at some point I'd be screwed otherwise.

There's no doctor in a white coat that's going to save you, or a system or a pill - it's always going to be you and the choices that you make.

If you don't step across the threshold of what you already know into the world of challenges, you never truly measure yourself.
