Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.

Sometimes if you expose your vulnerability, someone else will feel comforted. It's like we're all in this boat together.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

There is a difference between vulnerability and telling people everything about yourself. Vulnerability is a feeling. Telling everyone about yourself is just facts and details.

I actually think it's harder to play vulnerability, because you're having to delve deeper into portions of your own psyche, what it is that makes you human.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.

I think one's relationship with one's vulnerability is a very delicate and precious relationship. Most people try to hide, disguise that vulnerability, and in doing that, you, I think, diminish a great source of power.

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.

It didn't scare me to be vulnerable because I think that's when you get something great.
