~My instinct is to protect my children from pain. But adversity is often the thing that gives us character and backbone. It's always been a struggle for me to back off and let my children go through difficult experiences.~

I credit literature for the reason I act because that was the door to me saying, ‘Oh! I can be somebody else. I can exist as someone else.’

I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine.

I love storytelling. I love stories, and I love the way in which we connect through stories.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

My path was to be an actor and it’s been very good to me in life. It’s broadened my horizons and given me a lot of gifts.

I try never to be governed by fear; that's how I choose things.
