Outside of interviews, I spend very little time thinking about myself. I spend time thinking about my writing and my children and other things that are pertinent.

I certainly have the problem of focusing on doing everything now to get where I want to be, and not actually seeing and taking in and appreciating what's right in front of me or who's right in front of me.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

I go about in the world - free, busy, happy. Among people, I have no time to think of myself.

In the past, I've thrown myself into work so much there's been very little room for anything else.

I like to be left alone when I'm not working.

The worst thing you can think about when you're working is yourself.

I find it so all-encompassing when acting that there's no room for anything else when you're in it; you're just locked into thinking about it all day, you go to sleep with it, wake up with it, and when I come back, I really need time to recover.

Here's the thing that I think about life - if you manage to get into a space where you don't need that much, where the overhead of your life is not that great and you're pretty happy and relaxed without that much stuff, you are really liberated because you never have to say yes to something because you want another refrigerator or car!

I work so hard that I forget to take care of myself.
