"If it feels right and I'm not going against any energy in myself or the situation, there would be no limit"
About this Quote
Dana Plato’s line lands like a manifesto for instinct, but it’s also a tell: the “no limit” is conditional on a kind of inner weather report she’s had to become fluent in. As an actress who spent much of her life watched, judged, and reduced to tabloid shorthand, Plato frames freedom not as rebellion but as alignment. The key phrase isn’t “no limit”; it’s “not going against any energy.” That language belongs to late-20th-century self-help and New Age vocab, yes, but it also reads like a survival tool for someone whose boundaries were routinely negotiated by other people - studios, audiences, family, the press.
The intent feels less like bravado than permission: if the body isn’t flinching and the room isn’t hostile, go. “Energy” becomes a polite stand-in for danger, shame, pressure, relapse, the thousand subtle cues that tell you a situation is extracting more than it’s giving. She’s describing a personal ethics of consent and self-preservation, not a grand philosophy.
The subtext is the cost of living without reliable guardrails. When your public narrative has been hijacked, “feels right” is both empowering and precarious: intuition can be wisdom, but it can also be wish. That tension gives the quote its ache. It’s aspirational, almost radiant, yet haunted by the fact that “limit” is exactly what fame and fallout tend to erase. In Plato’s context, this isn’t airy spiritual talk; it’s an attempt to reclaim authorship over her own momentum.
