Reading recent history is good to humble yourself, and also to feel some hopefulness that there is progress.

And also I think particularly as a female, you're taught to be defensive your whole life. You're taught not to be aggressive.

I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.

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.

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

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to understand how to read a story.
