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

I never like to tell people what they should take.

I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on 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.

I'm now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way.

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.

Yippee! I can't believe I made it. It feels like a long haul to get here. I'm so fine with it. People want you to have some sort of breakdown, but I'm relieved to be 40 years old, and I've lived a life.
