Id love to go back and do theater. Theres nothing like that instant response and the connection to a live audience.
When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.
I feel it is a blessing, a duty, an honor, that we give the love that we have, and we share the lives that we have with our fullest heart.
My dad used to say, 'Just be yourself and you'll be fine,' but it's really, really true.
There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.
If I'm feeling hurt, sad, lonely, depressed, and then I shame myself for feeling that, then that's a black hole for me. I really have worked a lot to meet pain with both gratitude and gentleness.
The pain is always bringing me a lesson. If I listen to the lesson when the pain is manageable, the pain won't get gargantuan and flatten me entirely, because I will have received the message at the center. I receive it as gently as I can, because the cruelest thing that I do to myself is try to push myself through an experience.
I get a lot of work done in my dreams and I don't want to take anybody else's work with me.
Sleep is such a potent, liminal state, and I don't want to drag anything in there that doesn't need to be there.
I have to meditate before I go to bed, always. I have to let the day go and let the eternal in.
The smallest act has repercussions for the universe.
I will just think, why am I singing? Then I will know everything I need to know about what I'm feeling.
I wouldn't make it through the day without singing. It is my solace and my meditation and my release. It lets me know how I'm processing things, what I'm processing, if I'm out of touch in some area.
There are a lot of women who feel that they have done all the work in their relationship only for someone else to step in and take the love and credit for it.
