Over the course of her decades-long acting career, Lisa Bonet has continually opened up about her ongoing spiritual journey. “I’m happiest when I meditate,” she told Interview back in 1987, “because you can be anywhere in the world and be anyone and anything and it’s totally unconditional … ” In that same interview, she also commented on her struggles to transcend her own ego. “The spiritual ego is the hardest of all to combat,” she explained. “I sometimes find myself bathing in my ego.”
Speaking with The Washington Post that same year, Bonet reiterated that the inner quest she was on superseded any career ambitions. “It’s like, there is so much more in life than, you know, show business,” she said. “You know, it’s only going to last for so long, but, you know, the work that I’m doing, like with my guru and meditation, is forever.”

More than three decades later, Bonet was on that same journey. That was evident when she was interviewed by Marisa Tomei in 2022, again for Interview. Asked by Tomei where her focus lay at that moment, Bonet offered a philosophical response. “Definitely learning how to be authentically me, learning to be new, and following this invitation from the universe to step into this river of uncertainty,” she said. “We’ve eliminated all this extra noise, and now it’s time to grow our roots deeper into our own values.”
