A wonderful pastor I know once told me, “Perfectionism is the highest order of self-abuse.” So now I try to remind myself that if I engage in perfectionism, I am abusing myself. Period.
More often than what you’re suggesting, I find people are surprised that I have an urban side to me.
Yeah, I’ve had the privilege to know a lot of really talented people.
When we were growing up, we were so poor that our heritage was the only thing we had. Mama would say, ‘Kids, pour more water in the soup. Better days are coming.’
I get lonely when I’m a Playstation widow.
Self care isn’t selfish. It’s self esteem.
My mothers into frilly dresses and eyelashes and hairstyles from the 1970s. We always argue about that.
People say that to me and I think what unites all my characters is that they are hurt; it’s most accurate to say I play characters that are hurt but are responding to their environment.
No, I don’t tolerate pressure from anyone about anything.
I’ve been devoted to Alison Krauss for many, many years.
You don’t stay married for 35 years by accident. I think that that’s willful and intentional and something that both people really want.
I think it’s easy for me to connect to some people, and I don’t know if that’s the same thing as falling in love whereas before, I might have said it was.
Regardless, we are a two career household, and it’s Dario’s season, and I’m really excited about going racing.
I can’t think of anything I want and need that I don’t already have but at the same time, I’m not sated.
I’d just as soon freeze to death.
I did a lot of hiking and I loved it.
It’s funny, though, because when I first started going to races after we met, I was extremely nervous. It’s like being backstage and hoping you don’t trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone, so I was really hesitant.
A lot of people over the years have been doing yoga and I think even more these days are expressing an interest in it. So there are a lot of manifestations of spirituality here in town.
And it blew my mind when I started to get wind of the fact that they actually liked me being around. That was humbling, because Kentucky basketball is a big deal, and I am not the biggest fan – I am just the most notorious one.
Everything I’ve done has been personally fun, important, and meaningful to me.
I have a lot of variety within me, and the dream role, I think, is actually a compilation of parts that express different aspects of my persona and personal interests.
