As far as developing a career as an actress, I think it's a fine balance between trying to just work, and also be true to yourself.

Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.

For six months I'd do movies and make it all about me. Then the other six months, it's not about me and it doesn't matter what my hair looks like or what anything looks like.

If you're fortunate enough, you get to a position where you can be a little pickier about your roles.

Give sorrow words

As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.

See to it that each hour's feelings, and thoughts, and actions are pure and true; then will your life be such.

Strangling is the most intimate way to kill someone.

To me, everything happening inside of us is political.

All this and heaven too.

When your life is on course with it’s purpose, you are your most powerful.
