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

It's the desire to study the human condition, the desire for collaboration, to learn and absorb, and to lead a well-examined life.

There are moments when you feel as if you have been blessed for a while, moments when you think this is perfect, moments when you start to believe that even for an hour, even for a year, it might all happen. So I'm determined to keep making it get better and better.

It's the warmest, loveliest community I've ever set foot in. For me, it's the perfect place to live. It's the best part of America.

Sometimes as an actor you're struggling to make things work. That was never the case for me with [Big Little Lies script]. It just kind of flowed out.

I'd rather walk a tightrope than have my feet on the ground.

If you enter the dark side of life, and come through it, you emerge with more strength and passion.
