And I haven't read a lot of blogs but if someone writes about what they care about I'm sure it's interesting.

I do think that what's wonderful in life is that we gain perspective as we take on different roles that are mind and heart opening.

I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.

It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone.

But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.

Daring to me is having courage; it's a daily meditation to take breath and find strength.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.
