Not to be too detailed, but I’ve had an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and I’ve had fertility treatments. I’ve done all the stuff you can possibly do to try get pregnant.
Breathe and don’t try to be perfect.
I yearn for things, but at the same time I am just peaceful.
I dig my heels in every now and then, and think ‘I’m not going to do what’s expected or what people think is the right thing.’ So I have a little bit of that in my personality.
It’s my job as an actor to commit to the role and not – through my own inhibitions – run away.
I have always tried to be a woman who protects other women. I have a sister, I have daughters, I have girlfriends, and I was raised by a feminist mother.
I credit literature for the reason I act because that was the door to me saying, ‘Oh! I can be somebody else. I can exist as someone else.’
I’ve always been somebody on a journey of discovery.
In my heart I’m independent, a bit of a rebel, a nonconformist.
I think I would be very sad if I wasn’t able to have a baby.
I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive.
You have to love, without judgment, every actor that you’re working with to make beauty.
You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur. And I’m not a voyeur.
I don’t really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.
Ultimately, you’re left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.
The more you love, the more you crave.
Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it’s a beautiful life.
Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.
As an actor you don’t control the end result. Because you’re a director, you get to control the end result. I think for us, we really have to show up and participate and give. And then let go.
I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again.
