We're Taught To Take Care Of People

In Old Interviews I Was Still Worried About Being Judged. I Think My Life Was About How Can I Keep Myself In Control. How Can I Just Get Through This And Be Okay? And, You Know, You Turn The Corner. You Realize That You're Not Imprisoned By Your Life Or Your Circumstances Or Your Genetics Or Anything. I Really Believe That We All Have The Ability To Come Out Of Our Story. But You Have To Tell Your Story First In Order To Come Out Of It.

We Live In A Society Running From Pain Through Alcohol, Through Too Much Exercise, Through Sugar, Through Drugs - As Opposed To Realizing That These Things Come Up Because They Are Lessons. It's A Way To Wake You Up.

What I Wasn't Prepared For Were The Feelings Of Anxiety That It Stirred In Me. I Wasn't Prepared For The Initial Feeling Of I Don't Want To Have To Do That Again. I Was Scared.

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.

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.
