I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.

It's good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it.

My mother said I was always an intense child, a very sensitive child. So that probably helped the emotions to be very present. I was just a big thinker. I would evaluate and analyze and feel and cry and discuss and be angry. All of those emotions were very surface for me.

Ultimately, you're left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.

I yearn for things, but at the same time I am just peaceful.

I'm a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.

I think you put art out into the world, and sometimes it's divisive, sometimes it's embraced. Sometimes people cry, laugh or have complicated reactions.
