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.

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.

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'm interested in acting because I'm interested in exploring humanity, and we're all nuts, we're all damaged, and we're all gorgeous, so anything less than that is dishonest to me.

The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Other people’s perception of you is a reflection of them

What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.

Any goal worth achieving involves an element of risk.

You may see me, fat and shining, with well-cared for hide, . . . a hog from Epicurus' herd. [Lat., Me pinguem et nitidum bene curata cute vises, . . . Epicuri de grege porcum.]

My altars are the mountains and the ocean.

It seems like every time I agree to work with a video game company they go out of business. I stopped because I was starting to feel guilty.

I basically look at PR as something you do if there's an object in mind. But my ego doesn't need it.

Math anxiety: an intense lifelong fear of two trains approaching each other at speeds of 60 and 80 MPH.

Why do people who like to get up early look with disdain on those who like to lie in bed late? And why do people who like to work feel superior to those who prefer to dream?

To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs; and it is necessary to follow, in order to lead.
