More quotes by Mariel Hemingway
What they were giving me seemed incredibly real to me, so I'd react to it in a very real way. That was frightening for me, especially because of the subject.
Mariel Hemingway
I really felt that I had to stay level, I had to control, I had to know what I was eating, I had to know what I was doing, I had to work out. All that stuff is very powerful and it really helps, but now I don't do it out of survival. At first, I was just trying to survive. I assumed at some point I'd be screwed otherwise.
Mariel Hemingway
When child actors act well they're just reacting to situations, and they're acting very real because their life experience is so short there's no history to fall back on.
Mariel Hemingway
I began by doing physical yoga, initially just for the workout, as exercise. I would get peaceful and calm at the end of it, and I was curious about that.
Mariel Hemingway
Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body.
Mariel Hemingway
Having been through a tremendous amount of emotional pain, to process it properly, to be able to have it make sense and then move it through your body, your mind, your spirit, and be done with it, you really have to address it head-on. Being able to really have the courage enough to truly face it, to truly look at it, to truly feel it.
Mariel Hemingway
Well, I was passionately curious about what my body was doing, and when I got the lessons on how to meditate, it seemed really solid to me. It seemed real.
Mariel Hemingway
How you live your life can affect your mental state.
Mariel Hemingway
Even with mental health as well as physical health, it's about taking responsibility and knowing that you're part of the solution always.
Mariel Hemingway
We're taught to take care of people we love, but sometimes you can't.
Mariel Hemingway
I wanted out of my pain and that silliness, but I wanted an easy out. That's before realizing that there is no easy out. Before accepting that you just have to do the work.
Mariel Hemingway
The experience of getting my Kriya, which is the meditation process that I do, was very powerful for me - though, as I explain in the book, I was really suspect of that kind of thing.
Mariel Hemingway
I did Star 80, which was a magnificent experience as well, but still, I was at the height of my career at the beginning. Then I had to jump down the ladder and climb back up again, which I didn't understand. That was very hard.
Mariel Hemingway
I don't take myself terribly seriously. It's why I can be incredibly honest about my life.
Mariel Hemingway
I enjoyed doing Lipstick, but it scared me. I was very nervous. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was very real, and I was just a kid.
Mariel Hemingway
But the experience that I had, which was basically just feeling loved and taken care of in a room full of thousands of people I didn't know, seemed to be a pretty strong sign that what I was doing was a good thing.
Mariel Hemingway
I say to people, keep it simple. If you want to change your food, change your breakfast.
Mariel Hemingway
People can sense you lying on the camera, they can smell it. They know when you're not telling the truth. Then it does become reality-show bullshit.
Mariel Hemingway
I loved acting when I was doing it, but getting the jobs I didn't understand because I'd never had to do it. That was a difficult lesson for me. It was very humbling and very bizarre.
Mariel Hemingway
A lot of exercise is mindless you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you.
Mariel Hemingway
