Things come out of nowhere, and you start evaluating the director, the cast, and all those other things going into it.

I've always maintained that all characters and all personalities are in all of us. The whole thing is available. You're not this or that, no one is.

Shooting in New York can be a problem... I had to walk through a crowd, come in the front door, and play the scene.

I honestly do not think about celebrity or image or sexual expectations on me. It only comes up when people have a list of questions. But what I am told is that there is a quality that I have onscreen, where it's a little bit of everything.

Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.

Meditation is such a more substantial reality than what we normally take to be reality.

I'm less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling.
