My tendency to internalize emotion is probably why I'm an actor. I'm comfortable performing angrily but have such difficulty expressing anger in my life.

So many people are passive participants in their very short time of having a consciousness, and those who aren't inspire me. Like Malala Yousafzai or a ninety-two-year-old yoga instructor.

I can't have a daily routine. I feel really overwhelmed a lot of the time. I don't take much comfort in routine, but if I don't start, I could really get eaten alive by my industry.

What can we do in any hardship? We can hope with prayerful praise.

The beauty of existence is a passionate sacred-life.

Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room.
