The older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.

I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.

I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

If you're a musician, you can practice your guitar every day and write songs, but when you're an actor, you can't just like burst into a monologue. Your only exercise is when you're in prep or you're working.

I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.
