We're taught to take care of people we love, but sometimes you can't.

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

Number one, we have to talk about mental illnesses. Number two, you can actually address things from a purer and honest direct line to what's been going on in your life and how you've been feeling and why you think the way you think. I do think there is a genetic predisposition for mental illness, for depression, for suicide, but I also think that lifestyle can change things. If you're an addict, if you drink and you're putting a depressant into your body, it's going to cause serious problems.

You can turn just about any simple act into a practice of mindfulness, and it will nurture and nourish you; it will start your day off in a positive way.

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

The prevalence of mental illness compels me to give it - and the people suffering from it - a voice.

I really believe that we all have the ability to come out of our story. But you have to tell your story first in order to come out of it.
