I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.

It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.

My washing machine overwhelms me with its options and its sophistication.

When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however. But Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.

I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.

But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.

I'm an actress and mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.
