I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
What I love about photography, and it's the same thing I love about acting, really, is that it forces you, like, right into the moment, where you can't be distracted, where you can't be, like, thinking about other things or ahead of yourself or behind yourself.
I have a life that's just been a well of loneliness.
Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.
I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.
I love men. I've always been drawn to poets, artists, and madmen. Sometimes all three in one
That's always been like a fascination to me - watching my family, three sisters and a brother and all growing up basically in the same situation and each one being so totally different and going on to completely different areas and directions. But for me to go into psychoanalysis really steadily, would be putting too much energy into trying to figure out why I am the way I am... Basically this is how I am and it's alright and I don't want to know why I'm this way.
One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.
Don't be absent from your own life.
I've never been a sunny personality. I've never been outgoing. I'm a solitary person.
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
It's easy to judge, to think we know for certain the right thing to do. Sometimes, it just isn't so clear.
Everything is transient. Everything is constantly changing. The only thing we have is now.
Be present. I would encourage you with all my heart just to be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Because, ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.
