Life sweeps you up. Some people resist a lot. I probably haven't resisted very much.

We never left a set until we'd trashed it.

Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.

Motherhood definitely took the focus off of my work. And I didn't mind. I had a few panics when I thought that if I wanted to work I couldn't get a job anymore and then I would get one once in a while and it would make me feel better.

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 think that life force is invaluable.

I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
