lonely gratitude hurt
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.
heart blessing giving
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.
animal
I foster a lot. Not humans, animals.
black messy difficult
Nothing is all good or all bad, nothing is black or white, everything is just messy and human and difficult.
being-yourself dad just-be-yourself
My dad used to say, 'Just be yourself and you'll be fine,' but it's really, really true.
meditation singing solace
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.
stars fun guests
When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.
connections theater instant
Id love to go back and do theater. Theres nothing like that instant response and the connection to a live audience.
forever missing singing
I miss singing. I did Broadway forever.
need-love deserve
There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.
fun play people
Its a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, I get to play the First Lady. Its just fun to say.
tape degrees moments
I used to be so hard on myself. So hard on myself. Just my own worst critic to the nth degree. Absolutely undermining my confidence in every moment. Bad tape in my head all the time.
thinking empowering looks
I think you choose how you walk through this life. I think if you choose to participate in a paradigm that is looks-based, if you're an actor, then it can be empowering in some ways, and it can be really limiting in some ways in terms of time and longevity.
hurt pain love-yourself
You gotta love yourself, because when you're hurting - you never know who's gonna be around to do the lovin' for ya. You gotta love yourself through the pain.
