I wouldn't change my past for anything, because I think it's made me who I am. I'm so enormously grateful for all that I have in my life.

To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing.

You're always going to make mistakes. That's life. You just want to grow from them and try to make as few as possible. That's why you do reach out and ask people for help, where needed.
Hilary Swank
Image
Sometimes you have to get to the heart of a character through your heart. Your own heart. And it's what makes us similar and what makes us different.

I think what's great about that relationship between an actor and a Director is you have to really blow away all your thing, the safety things that you put up.
Hilary Swank
Image
I'm a risk-taker. It's where my passion lies, so I don't want to play it safe. That means I'm going to fail sometimes.

It's hard to find really original, compelling works of fiction, for women especially. I find that these true life stories about these women that I'm so blessed to play are some of the most compelling stories, and the truth is stranger than fiction.

I bring my dogs on set with me, and my little dog Karoo is smart as a whip. She knows where the craft-services food tables are, so anytime I can't find her, I know she has found her way to that area. She's a funny dog.

The past is gone. I know it sounds cliché, but you're here. Like be in it. And boxing was a really good analogy for me to try and carry that in my everyday life all the time.

I love my job, I love being an actor and stepping into the shoes of different characters and exploring their lives. It's enriched my life extremely. I've learned more about myself and the ways of life through being an actor.

My job is about playing people. And I think once you lose touch with people, what do you play?
Hilary Swank
Image
I feel like I've had a really great intense relationship with every single Director I've ever worked with. I can't say there's one that hasn't been deep and profound in its own way.

One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.

New Yorkers have this special spot in Central Park, where they do this 5K run, the minute the clock strikes twelve. I ran once, and I'll never do that again, either. But, it's awesome to watch those people run. It's such a great environment and place to be.

My relaxation has always been my animals - going to the dog park with them, going to the beach.

I think writing letters is a lost art, but nowadays it's something that means even more, because it's so easy to communicate in so many different ways. But I find a love letter can even be a little post-it note stuck in your pocket, with a sentence or a few words.
