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

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

We live in a society running from pain through alcohol, through too much exercise, through sugar, through drugs - as opposed to realizing that these things come up because they are lessons. It's a way to wake you up.

Sometimes you can't see your way out. The "dark night of the soul" - it's a reality for many, many people.

The 'Hemingway curse' was such a huge, awful thing for me to have to deal with. . . . The reality is, because there are genetic tendencies toward mental illness, you need to be aware of them.

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.

Maybe in any art you have to be wholly you in the context of whatever you're doing.
