Part of my journey is sort of learning the ways that I'm unconsciously blocked and trying to open them up. I'm a complete work in progress in that area.

Real life is crazier than fiction.

When I meditate in the morning, it really changes my day and my relationship with my day.

Really anything can happen at any time and we are very addicted to comfort. Life is just not always comfortable.

Even in the most grieving of losses, or whatever sort of pain you're sitting in, we can bear it.

What most women live in, is fear of the next contraction, or they're reliving the pain of the one they just had. And nature really builds in these breaks, if you can be in the present and not feel the pain and not sort of anticipate the pain to come.

It's always fun to get to do things that stretch you and that you don't get to do a lot, but you never know until you see it.

I would say what makes me vulnerable is when I allow my mind to spiral. You know? When I start not being in the present moment and I start skipping ahead and picturing my daughter driving on the freeway on a late saturday night.

I think the biggest shift has been in realizing how much more we are creating our life than we realize. That was sort of the epiphany to me.

Ultimately everyone, no matter who you are, we all at our core want to just know that we matter.

Awareness is the key to everything. I think it's important to be aware of how you feel. How do you feel after you exercise? How do you feel after you eat something? I try to be mindful of the food I'm putting in my body, the products I use, and what I put in or on my body.

There's just something about getting up, putting it out there, and getting this exchange of energy. Whether your audience is a camera lens, or live theater, or whatever it is, just putting that out there and getting it back is just an honor.

At our core, we just want to know that we matter.

My husband and I oddly have worked together a couple of times. We did a 'Veronica Mars' episode together. We didn't work together, but we were both in 'Ghost World.' We had a theater company in L.A., for a bunch of years. So, we've worked together a fair amount, and it's always just great fun.

In my mind that's the best thing I can do for my girl, is to love my body and the way I look. That's what I sort of decided when she was young. And so it's sort of about faking it until you can make it.
