Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?

Life is not for the faint of heart.

I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.

I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.

In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.

It's a wild thing, that people have the ability to help each other by just relating to one another.

I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.

Remember when we didn't live in the future? When we were young, it was not the future yet.

Life is a wildly transient thing with people coming into your life and dropping away. It definitely takes work to maintain relationships.

Existence itself is disconcerting and disorienting.

Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.

When you fall in love with someone, you're not really changing at all. You're really just reliving something that already happened at some point.

We have to cross the boundary between knowing and not knowing many times before we achieve understanding.

Notice what happens when you choose to embrace rather than reject each feeling that arises within you today.

I think it's important to watch out for our environment and to be careful.

Close to birth... I lost, like, 80 percent of my hearing, and I had difficulty speaking.

I wanted to be a dancer my whole life. And when I gave it up to act, I always had a really sad part of myself that missed it and missed performing and missed being physical in that way.

People want to bring kids to their level, and they want to make it seem like kids have this thing. It's seen as funny to them.

Do not let a day go by without taking some time for yourself - some time you spend in pure pleasure, as you see it.

Optimistic parents raise resilient children, but pessimistic parents raise broken offspring. Wherever there is darkness, show your children the light.

I think the nation as a whole has a role in making sure that each individual, each citizen maximizes one's potential.
