"To ignore one's spiritual self is unsettling, to say the least. That's a very profound outlook on it"
About this Quote
Then the pivot: "That's a very profound outlook on it". The second sentence reads like Blair responding to someone else, not delivering a polished mantra. That matters. It suggests a context of interview-talk or reflective conversation where she’s co-signing an idea rather than branding it as her own. The subtext is social: spiritual language can make people roll their eyes, so she softens the landing by framing it as admiration for an "outlook" - an opinion you can try on, not a doctrine you must obey.
Coming from an actress whose cultural shadow is inseparable from The Exorcist, the line also plays against expectation. "Spiritual self" isn’t code for sensational possession; it’s the mundane aftermath - what happens when you’ve lived through fame, typecasting, and public projection. Blair’s intent feels less like evangelism and more like boundary-setting: a reminder that if you let the world define you, the cost shows up internally, first as unease, then as absence.
