“I’ve been really tripping out recently like, we’re not here for very long. There’s so much to eat up and learn and grow from and experience and feel. That includes all the pain and the suffering and feeling so helpless about the world.

“Most days I feel like the most useless piece of s***. I’m sitting in this dumba** chair, talking about this dumba** movie, and there are people in excruciating catastrophes, and what can I do? I do have that incredible friction in myself.

“And then I’m like, ‘We’re not here for very long,‘ so if I’m meant to be a mother, bring it on.”
