In an ideal world for me, I would like to go back and forth [between film and theater]. I kind of want to do it all

I was very unsure about what I wanted to do in high school.

What is wrong with you people?

People saw me as just a singer - yeah, a pretty face who could sing - and not more than that.

Cats and I have an understanding, but we choose not to interact often.

I'm ready and open to meeting the person that hopefully I'll share my life with. It takes a long time to get to that place.

I was a very awkward high schooler, especially in early high school. I had the middle part with a swoop, all that. It was the late ’90s!

I still sing every day - in the shower or on the set all day. I'm sure everyone will tell you that I never shut up. But it's not in the capacity that I would like to.

Things don't always tie up in a nice bow. Even when you make strides with people and relationships, it's complicated.

Life doesn't move in a linear fashion. Life makes lefts and rights, and it doubles back.

Once I came to acting, it was almost a thing where there weren't enough hours in the day to work on stuff because I was so passionate about it.

Your courage to take a risk and your ability to accept responsibility will define you.

When our focus is toward a principle of relatedness and oneness, and away from fragmentation and isolation, health ensues

It's like my characters, all my men are Dad and me in a mess; all my female characters are smart and hopeful, like Mom just trying to make the best of things.

Many parts of my life are perfectly ordinary, if that's what you mean. One could even call it boring, but that's what I like about it.

Be not haughty with the humble; be not humble with the haughty.

...even saying good-bye isn’t enough. There’s always one more thing you should have had the time to say, or do, or ask. There’s always going to be that one missing piece.

Basically, what you really want to do is try to engage the viewer's body relation to his thinking and walking and looking, without being overly heavy-handed about it.

When you become an artist you're working away from home for so much time. You really see what the use of time means to you once you're an artist and you travel so much.

I teach my sighs to lengthen into songs.
