You know how in high school you do these plays and people come up after the show and they're really excited for you? Well, that's what's happening to me right now.

My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional.

I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.

As a youth, I hated myself for not being good enough. All my inadequacies and failures, not being kind enough, generous or understanding enough, would assail me at night. It became a habit to be guilty and self castigating, not liking myself because I was unworthy... I really tortured myself.

I assume that if people get to know me, they'll like me. If they don't, it's not my problem.

I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.

Being is like pretending.
