We need to listen more, to hear the silence and live in it.
I know that my in-box will be so full the day that I leave the planet. So you try to stay interested in life and bring some kind of comfort and pleasure to others on this planet as you're going through this journey.
There are so many things in this life that I want to do and I can't do them all.
My dad was a musician, and that was his first love, and I think probably, to be really honest, it was my first love as well.
With some people, that love of music is just buried in them. It's so deep in them that they would play for free because they have to.
You have to trust the journey. That has become my motto for years: trust the journey. Because in the end, we're all kind of fearful. We all have fears and insecurities and ups and downs.
I never really saw my dad as entertained as when he was just completely blown away by somebody on the television screen or at the movies. I think that's the real reason that I went into acting.
I'm very thankful that I've had such longevity and variety.
I'm not too in love with the word ambition, but I was driven.
I just thank god that I didn't grow up with so much money or privilege because you had to create ways to make it happen.
I say when the truth wants to find you or wants to be found by you, it will come after you. You cannot stop that force.
I have to make a living, and I have been in a few films I wish I hadn't been in, but I don't know where things will lead me next, and that's exciting.
I can't be enticed by a big commercial film.
A lot of actresses like to repeat things over - and I don't once I've been there and done that. I like to see what the next thing is that comes along.
