perfect long long-time
We're not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.
real helping-others men
I am able to talk about my life in a way that helps other women - and men, but mostly women - understand their own life. I feel real proud of that.
perfect trying needs
We don't need to be perfect. We're not supposed to be perfect; we're supposed to be complete. And you can't be complete if you're trying to be perfect.
world canada should
When I'm in Canada, I feel this is what the world should be like.
knowing let-it-go needs
One part of wisdom is knowing what you don't need anymore and letting it go.
yoga thinking shopping
You can do yoga and be thinking about going shopping. The goal is kind of like meditation, is to be totally present in your body in the moment. That's when the most profound effects of yoga can happen. That's what I urge people to try to do. It's very important to be in your body.
hate heart thinking
What I learned is, we have to listen to each other, even when we don't agree, even when we think we hate each other. We have to listen to each others narratives. Not interrupt defensively, or with hostility, but really try to open our hearts and listen with empathy. I learned so much from that meeting. It was a very difficult thing to do and it was one of the best things that I ever did in my life. Look what scares you in the face, and try to understand it. Empathy, I have learned, is revolutionary.
stars sex realization
I was shocked into the realization that I myself had played an unwitting role as a movie star and sex symbol in perpetrating the stereotypes that affected women all over the world.
sweat work-out
Go for the burn! Sweat!
war thinking rising
Women are rising. And I think that's all the violence and war - it could be the last gasp of the patriarchy, actually.
mistake awards wounds-and-scars
You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.
interesting growing curious
Stay curious, keep learning and keep growing. And always strive to be more interested than interesting.
sex want young
The sex is better and I understand life better. I don't want to be young again.
thinking world beast
I think what's happening in the world - there's nothing more dangerous than a wounded beast, and the patriarchy is wounded.
