I did act as a kid, but I quit when I was seventeen.

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

When people are struggling, thats a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.

I know that the emotional narrative will work in the end, and I just have to play each moment honestly even if the getting from A to B doesn't totally make sense initially.

I don't think people should do things that they're not comfortable with, unless they want to stretch themselves in that way and challenge themselves.

That's something that rationally and logically I can't try to figure out, how somebody "transitions" so rapidly and so drastically, but I don't worry about it now.

I got into cooking and I went and cooked in Italy. I became a doula for a while. I built stone walls one summer, and I read a lot, and I swam a lot, and I spent a lot of time thinking.

I don't think there is anybody who's watching television right now who wants to see something because it looks good rather than feel something because it feels right or familiar or new or whatever.

Looking at somebody looking good is so... boring.

I wish that you fall in love with yourself. I can see the beautiful colours of your loving soul-which you are not able to appreciate.

Never laugh at your wife’s choices… you’re one of them

I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us.

Once you get older, people stop listening to what you say. It's very agreeable once you get used to it.

Everything in the world is exactly the same.

Man should rule with computers, not vice versa.

I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.

The main thing to know about me is that I'm a champion of entrepreneurs and the startups they build. They are my rock stars. If in doubt, I side with them, and that's clear from my writing.

There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.

To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.
