People often ask me which I enjoy better: acting or writing. The best answer I can give (aside from “who cares?”) is that one teaches me about the other.
“It’s a struggle, sometimes, to be like, My wife is the consistent breadwinner in the family.”
Lately I’ve started responding to such inquiries with ethereal (and possibly irritating) catchphrases like “timeless” and “as old as the universe.”
“When I was pregnant, I loved, loved, loved my body. I thought I was so beautiful.”
“In our culture, even today, women are taught that to be a good mom, you sacrifice yourself.”
I wouldn’t call myself a cynic/realist yet, but my tune has certainly changed from my theatre school days when I sang, “Follow your passion!” #lifeisbeautiful
