  1. It's usually just Really trying to see the other person's side or see the other person what they're going through that's making them do or say or be. Something that's creating conflict with who you're trying to be Because it's that expression, there's only two reasons people fight to be right or to find peace.

  3. That I think we as people or as women or me just as myself who I am in this world that I had to make myself less. For someone else to feel more of whatever that thing was. That's why I say When I was making homecoming for me to come home and say to my husband, I had a great day. That's a huge statement of the man he is that I feel completely at ease doing that.

  5. I don't know. The first thing that comes into my mind when you say that isn't really advice, it's just a feeling. Glad that I had the opportunity to feel and that I'm glad that I leaned into it when I had it, which is my life as friend and as a co-worker with Mike Nichols. He was always so. Unwaveringly encouraging. And there was just something to... Allowing myself to be lifted up by that not to think, oh, see, I've convinced him that I'm very good at my job or I've convinced him that I know a lot about this thing. That it was realizing. This is a good man and he loves me and is encouraging me because he sees things that are true about me, that there's no trick, there's no pretense. It was just so valuable to me. That I really accepted that.

Other parents had been texting me scores of games and stuff like that. And so I knew when all their games were over that they would call us and we talked to them on my birthday.

  18. Yes, which is number one. But I guess it's also that illusion of mastery because I can have a great Monday and a really crappy Tuesday. It's a free-flowing thing. It is not a static thing. Oh, I've got this. Oh, I've mastered this mothering thing. It doesn't exist. Everybody makes sure that they understand that going into it. You have to be sweet to your husband every day. It's not just one great day of sweetness and that's going to last you a lifetime. So for me, it's just knowing that it's freestyle and I think what some women we fall into this place, because I know I've done it where you feel like it's your responsibility to Give everything, give and give and give.

  20. Yes, most of the time when that's the perfect scenario would be yes. Now, obviously, when I'm working, it's not that. And it's funny because Hazel has become vegetarian, which I completely support. We all as a family support. We do not align with that ourselves. We're carnivores. She is a herbivore. But Danny was the one doing all the cooking. I was away in New York when this started happening. And when I would say to Hazel or to him, so what is it that you're, how do you handle Hazel being a vegetarian at night? You're cooking dinner. What do you do? And he said, well, like last night I made this and this for me and the boys, and then I made this for her. I said, wait, you made her a second dinner? No, no, just can't you just...

  22. Well, I just think you have to define your terms of what is all what is all for me may not be all for you or all for my neighbor or all for the mom that I see at school. So I think people have to realize that it's all about the definition of what is the quality that you are looking for. Of all the elements that make up your day or your life or I mean how you see some Relationships, whether it be a husband and a wife or a mother and her children. I think, wow, that wouldn't be enough for me. I wouldn't know how to. Have my child speak to me like that and still have a smile on my face. I need it to be a two way street. All the time And sometimes where there's

    2018-10-24 · Oprah's Super Soul · Julia Roberts: Daring and Vulnerable, Part 2 · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. Yeah, well, that is surprising, especially that it's so recent. I mean, I think that what's incredible is That people are feeling empowered by their own voice and their own I think people feel safer to speak their truth. Than ever before. Because there's just so much muck and Lies and stuff, and it's all kind of gotten so That you realize either we're all going to go blind or we have to say what we believe and we have to say everyone needs to know that over here in my life experience this is happening and I don't think it's right and I don't think it's fair. And when someone is able to find that voice and that courage, then they bring the like-spirited support that they need to affect change to them. And I think that's something incredible that is definitely going on.

  27. Someone else was now present. And I also told them that they were not allowed to go to school and speak in a way that was derogatory about him. Because we are a democracy and Democrats have to support what's happening in their country the best that they can in the way that they can. So, I felt like we all kind of found a way to feel empowered within a situation that left us all kind of reeling. And geez, what happens now? And it was very powerful for me to have her, in a way, be my leader into this space of marching and participating in. In being a citizen of this country.

Confirmed and Hazel came down and the TV was on and it said on the crawl at the bottom Trump wins. gasped. because of course we all had this collective Hope or belief Something else is going to happen. And she was so taken aback. And I think that. What I saw in that exact moment was the complete Need for me as a parent to find a way to make her feel That this wasn't happening to us, that we could still participate in our voice and in our belief system. That's why we went to the first march in Washington. I wanted her to feel like she still had a voice and a place in the world that she could still believe in what she believed in, even though

    2018-10-24 · Oprah's Super Soul · Julia Roberts: Daring and Vulnerable, Part 2 · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. Well, I think it's impossible not to be impacted by it. Just even just the reeling from it is impactful. But I will say this out of all the negative things, the great thing that always rises is the voice of people who have Survived or prevailed or now have a place of comfort And inspiration. I mean, I've said it before that when. When Donald Trump was elected having been through as a family the presidential debates and watching someone behave on television and speak on television in ways that Surprising and things and terms and phrases that your children say, what does that mean? And you find yourself having to Somehow define these vile expressions. Was a real learning Moment in our household, and so when he was elected

We certainly look alike. That would be fun.

When people do comment on things, I'm just going to say it the way that it happened because it was fascinating to me and I think it taught me a lot about being a young person in today's society. I posted a picture of my niece and I from one weekend morning she'd slept over and we got up and we're having tea and playing cards and having this beautiful morning I posted this picture. It was great. I felt great about it. And my sweet little niece reposted it a couple of days later. And two interesting things happened. The first interesting thing was the amount of people who didn't know we were related Which was funny just because I think we have a strong resemblance of one another and that it's just been written about a lot. And so that was illuminating. And then the amount of people that feel
