More quotes by Amber Tamblyn
I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God
Amber Tamblyn
Our show is less about a girl who is doing miracles and more about the domino effect of this girl's life, and how everyone else is affected. Our show seems to be a questioning show as opposed to an action sort of fairy tale.
Amber Tamblyn
My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.
Amber Tamblyn
I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.

Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.
Amber Tamblyn
But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.

After I saw my first poem published, I became interested in the immortalization of words and the fact that you could put something out there that you felt and that meant something to you, and that it could be interpreted by many different people to mean many different things.

People who have seen me read usually come up afterwards and invite me to be a part of something.

Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.
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
Amber Tamblyn
Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.
Amber Tamblyn
I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you
Amber Tamblyn
I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry
Amber Tamblyn
The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.
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.
Amber Tamblyn
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.
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
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

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.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach
