Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it
Amber Tamblyn
And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that

I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.
Amber Tamblyn
Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.

And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong.
Amber Tamblyn
One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.
Amber Tamblyn
I think we, especially in American culture, are so afraid to talk about death. And I'm not talking about literal death. I'm talking about shedding skin. I'm talking about rebirth, ultimately, and how we continue to change as human beings and continue to grow. There's that great Henry Miller quote, All growth is a leap in the dark.
Amber Tamblyn
I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach
Amber Tamblyn
People who have seen me read usually come up afterwards and invite me to be a part of something.
Amber Tamblyn
IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Amber Tamblyn
I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.
Amber Tamblyn
For most women, whether you're an actress or whatever you do, there is this pressure in society and within the world to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way, say certain things, and be this idea as opposed to being a person.
Amber Tamblyn
Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.
Amber Tamblyn
Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.
Amber Tamblyn
I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality
Amber Tamblyn
My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.
