Meditation Has Changed My Life

My Favorite Play In Drama School Was 'the Bacchae.' It's About A King Who Literally Gets Eaten Alive By All The Women In The Play In A Kind Of Orgy - It's Related To The Word 'bacchanal' - And I Loved That Idea Of Animalistic Chaos And Following Our Own Desires.

I've Always Felt That If You Back Down From A Fear, The Ghost Of That Fear Never Goes Away. It Diminishes People.

I've Never Heard My Dad Say A Bad Word About Anybody. He Always Keeps His Emotions In Check And Is A True Gentleman. I Was Taught That Losing It Was Indulgent, A Selfish Act.

I Meditated Before I Hosted The Oscars, I Meditate Before I Go On Stage, I Meditate In The Morning And Lunchtime When I'm On A Film Set.

I Have Lots Of Older Siblings, And As They Started To Leave The House, I Went From Cooking Once A Week To Twice, Three Times, And So On. After A While, It Was Just Like Making The Bed.
