Mindfulness isn’t inherently Eastern, just as electricity isn’t inherently Western. Mindfulness is a quality of presence that’s innate in all human beings.
Being on set is like being in college, for me, because I get to watch other people perform and I can learn from them if I listen and pay attention.
Occasionally, human beings are briefly de-animated, and the stories of people who are briefly de-animated that interest me the most are those having to do with the cold.
But there is something about human beings that too often makes our love for the world look very much like hatred for it.

I think that, I'm sure there are gonna be some teachers who are very entrenched in the system, who are going to buy in to what they're being told, as to what the kids are being fed.
Having kids — the responsibility of rearing good, kind, ethical, responsible human beings — is the biggest job anyone can embark on
I'd never want to be trapped. I never like to stay in one place too long. I always flit around, I never settle anywhere. So being married would be being trapped.
