You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.

One feels so despairing on some levels about what's going on in our culture, in regards to things like gender inequality. But there is progress. There is enhanced empathy and respect for others, we are fighting the tide, even though it seems like a tug of war sometimes.

---

Life sweeps you up. Some people resist a lot. I probably haven't resisted very much.

---

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

---

I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.

I think actresses are imagined to be these subjects of great vanity. Life is change; physicality changes. It's transient, and that's a beautiful and a painful thing.

---

Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.

---

I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need.

---

Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
