I Say To People, Keep

Number One, We Have To Talk About Mental Illnesses. Number Two, You Can Actually Address Things From A Purer And Honest Direct Line To What's Been Going On In Your Life And How You've Been Feeling And Why You Think The Way You Think. I Do Think There Is A Genetic Predisposition For Mental Illness, For Depression, For Suicide, But I Also Think That Lifestyle Can Change Things. If You're An Addict, If You Drink And You're Putting A Depressant Into Your Body, It's Going To Cause Serious Problems.

You Can Turn Just About Any Simple Act Into A Practice Of Mindfulness, And It Will Nurture And Nourish You; It Will Start Your Day Off In A Positive Way.

I Think We Should Be Passionately Curious About What We Do.

I'm Really Excited To Act Again Because When I Started Out, There Was An Innocent Sort Of Perception Of The World That Was Coming Though Me, And I Think Now Through A Lot Of Experience And Life And Understanding, I've Come Full Circle To Having A Purer Response To Things. So My Craft Will Be Really Interesting To Work From This Place Because I Think Acting Is About Being In Tune With Yourself - Or Maybe The Struggle To Be In Tune With Yourself.

I Really Felt That I Had To Stay Level, I Had To Control, I Had To Know What I Was Eating, I Had To Know What I Was Doing, I Had To Work Out. All That Stuff Is Very Powerful And It Really Helps, But Now I Don't Do It Out Of Survival. At First, I Was Just Trying To Survive. I Assumed At Some Point I'd Be Screwed Otherwise.
