“I got the chance to understand, or at least try to access, that stymieing fear, that just grips you and you can’t move and nobody else can help you. You have to help yourself kind of pull out of that. And the only way, sometimes, that you can figure out or navigate that path through that dark valley is if someone else who’s been through the same thing and has gotten through to the other side can give you some words of wisdom.”
“An article’s never going to give it to you true. An interview, an internet biography, talk show… I mean, you’d be deluded to think you’ll know anyone, really know them, through any of those avenues. We are, after all, mainly life-giving water; and water, Babies, ‘ebbs & flows’, as the word guy says. Encapsulating the full scope of a human requires time. Or… maybe not. There are the rare occasions when in the instant of meeting an individual, you understand their “wholeness”…their kinetics, even if it is a wordless comprehension.”
No one’s perfect. Everyone’s flawed. It’s a really kind of modern experience to have heroes that are flawed. They’re trying to become their better selves. They might not always make the right decisions, they might not do everything the best way possible, but that struggle, that attempt and that failure and then that reattempt…that’s interesting. That’s why she’s interesting to me. I think I can relate to that. I think everybody relates to that.

“I’d like to be a character that helps a child grow. I don’t wanna be the mother character that babies the child. But maybe is that kind of, um, sorceress that pushes the child to grow into their better self. You, know? That would be cool. Oh and I’d like to have pointy ears at some point, that would be really nice too. And maybe I could fly.”
“I love going off the grid, to places where I can experience an authentic, almost untouched world. I’m like an anthropologist by hobby. I spend a lot of time in the imaginary world, so after a long season or a film, it’s nice to come back to ground level and see people who are experiencing life in a simple and honest way.”
“When I first moved to Los Angeles I was surprised to how isolated I felt and the reason that that was happening was because I was stuck a lot of time in the bubble of my car. Whereas my experience in a lot of other cities was one in which you were exposed to the heart beat of the city because the transit system took you in and out of a number of different communities or centers, city centers, and it was easy to meet people because of that, because you’re constantly engaging with people.”
