I can’t remember that I was ever looking for anything. I was waiting for something to touch me. It’s like, I’ll be open to it, and see if it moves me. There has to be a "falling in love" moment.

I don't think that bravery is about skin. Bravery is about a willingness to show emotional need.

Sometimes it's an external approach where one can learn the skills required, let's say, learn to play the trumpet and in that process other things happen.

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