I got back into the position ...

I got back into the position of taking care of my husband, which is what I'd learned that I couldn't really do: you can love and make things okay to a certain extent, but you can't fix. I didn't quite learn that until the kayaking incident. It became so clear then.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

I'm really excited to act aga...

I'm really excited to act again because when I started out, there was an innocent sort of perception of the world that was coming though me, and I think now through a lot of experience and life and understanding, I've come full circle to having a purer response to things. So my craft will be really interesting to work from this place because I think acting is about being in tune with yourself - or maybe the struggle to be in tune with yourself.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

The 'Hemingway curse' was suc...

The 'Hemingway curse' was such a huge, awful thing for me to have to deal with. . . . The reality is, because there are genetic tendencies toward mental illness, you need to be aware of them.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

I think that things like curs...

I think that things like curses or whatever - those labels - come from belief systems, universal belief systems. So when you get a global consciousness of something, then that becomes a quote-unquote "truth" for everybody. You know, "This is what happens in the Kennedy family." "This is what happens with the Hemingways." And the more people believe in it, the more it kind of resuscitates the problem; it keeps bringing life to this idea that a curse exists that you can never get out from under.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

I wanted to share the experie...

I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

A lot of exercise is mindless...

A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

When child actors act well th...

When child actors act well they're just reacting to situations, and they're acting very real because their life experience is so short; there's no history to fall back on.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

What they were giving me seem...

What they were giving me seemed incredibly real to me, so I'd react to it in a very real way. That was frightening for me, especially because of the subject.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

I've known for years that you...

I've known for years that you're supposed to be present. I know that thinking about what's happened or thinking about what I want is not going to get me anywhere, but until I quit doing it I'm not present.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

The other thing is surroundin...

The other thing is surrounding yourself with people that care for you. These are simple things, but they're powerful, and they've completely transformed who I am and how I perceive myself.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

Finding some quiet time in yo...

Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

But the experience that I had...

But the experience that I had, which was basically just feeling loved and taken care of in a room full of thousands of people I didn't know, seemed to be a pretty strong sign that what I was doing was a good thing.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

Self-Realization Fellowship s...

Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

Cancer came back into my life...

Cancer came back into my life twice in order for me to understand something, and I guess I still wasn't getting it. And my husband wasn't getting it, either.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

The experience of getting my ...

The experience of getting my Kriya, which is the meditation process that I do, was very powerful for me - though, as I explain in the book, I was really suspect of that kind of thing.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

Everybody needs a way out of ...

Everybody needs a way out of that pain. Many people choose drugs and alcohol. Some people obsessively exercise or develop strange dietary habits, which is what I did. At least it got me toward a path of healthier living.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

Well, I was passionately curi...

Well, I was passionately curious about what my body was doing, and when I got the lessons on how to meditate, it seemed really solid to me. It seemed real.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

It's not that I don't believe...

It's not that I don't believe in miracles, but I never quite trust that they're real.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

Manhattan, though, was an ent...

Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.

Mariel Hemingway 79 quotes

What I wasn't prepared for we...

What I wasn't prepared for were the feelings of anxiety that it stirred in me. I wasn't prepared for the initial feeling of I don't want to have to do that again. I was scared.
