Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
From Laura Linney
I don't think I'm exactly gregarious, you know. I'm not usually known as the loud person in the room.
I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.
I just have to concentrate on doing what I do.
What people can survive and what they don't survive is shocking to me. Someone can go to Iraq and be blown to bits and survive. Someone can trip and fall on the street and they die - that's that.
I crave a cone of silence every once in while.
Fear, anxiety and neurosis: that's just in the suitcase when you're an actor.
I've seen the greatest actors in the world, transcendent talents, who can't find a home.
What I find so interesting about people is the choices they make, and how that effects their behavior, their sense of self and their relationships.
It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.
