"I loved my life, but my choices were overloading and overwhelming me. Listening to inner feelings and fulfilling some of these urges when they come along is incredibly important"
About this Quote
Her wording is telling. "My choices were overloading and overwhelming me" shifts blame away from any single mistake and toward accumulation. It’s not that she chose wrong; it’s that she chose too much, too often, until decision-making itself became a weight. For an actress - a profession built on auditioning, being evaluated, and constantly performing versions of the self - this lands as both personal and occupational critique. The subtext: the public sees glamorous variety, but the private experience is cognitive and emotional debt.
Then she pivots to "Listening to inner feelings" and "fulfilling some of these urges" - a careful, moderated permission slip. "Some" signals restraint; "when they come along" suggests spontaneity without recklessness. It’s an argument for intuition as triage: when life is crowded with roles, commitments, and identities, the body’s signals become a sorting mechanism. The intent isn’t self-indulgence; it’s survival through selective honesty.
