“I’m trying to find my own version of what makes me feel beautiful.”

There are a ton of foods that are great for you, that’s like an indulgence.

It was when I realized I needed to stop trying to be somebody else and be myself, that I actually started to own, accept and love what I had.

This is a couple that actually loves, respects & appreciates each other.

The two things that I thought were really interesting about this character [Bow] for me were that she actually loved her husband, and he loved her. The comedy was not coming from the fact that they hated each other. Which is what television couples are usually based on.

Just embrace your hair! I really feel like I am not an advocate for people doing what I do. I’m an advocate for people discovering and finding what works for them.

Self-care of all kinds is a huge part of my life. I really encourage other women and other people to really put self-care – and that includes the beauty regime, how you eat, all of that – into your body.

Here is my wish and my desire and my pledge as well: that we remember our true nature and our womanhood. That we own and know that we are more than our bodies and yet our bodies are these sacred, beautiful, rhythmic houses for us.

One of the photographers was like, “Can you stop talking and try to look sexy for a minute?”

My mom would leave her job, and there would be throngs of people screaming and banging on our car. I come from a very private family, but I was born into a public family.

When you feel happy, you look beautiful.

And it acting was exciting to me. And scary.

I sometimes think to myself, you’re not going to meet a new friend of any kind at home in front of the TV with your DVR. As much as it’s great, and there are so many good shows on TV, and I have great books that I’m reading, get out and interact with people.

Throughout high school, I was obsessed with magazines. I used to just comb through them and plaster things on my wall.

I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

I’ve always been a curious thinker. And now, as an adult, I can articulate it.

After college, I shot a pilot for a show on Lifetime, which was basically House of Style for a TV lover. I think I got paid $1,500, and I was like, “Mom, I’m moving out! I made it!” I did two seasons of that, but I felt like a talking head and wanted to do more.

There is nothing wrong with thought and it can be used whenever necessary. But in every moment you can choose to follow your thoughts or you can recognize that which is not thinking. Don’t try to stop thinking, let it happen. Just recognize that which is not thinking.

When I record, it feels like I’m in a bubble. There’s nothing else in my head right then.

I’m interested in people who are not exactly the middle way, or who are trying something else because they cannot prevent themselves from being different, or they wish to be different, or they are different because society pushed them away.

I’m trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.

I’d done a few short films before and thought acting was really creative, but when I worked with those guys, I was just like: “Wow!” They had such fun and freedom. They were trying things and stretching themselves. It was so inspiring that I was like: “I definitely want to do this!”

I don’t try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers.

We also want to try and slow down all this foolishness that’s going on between the East and West.

It’s just that song, and I’m trying to really sound like what the song is about.
