I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.

Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.

I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different.

I loved the stage and then grew to love the camera.

Competition is very good... as long as its healthy. It's what makes one strive to be better.

My heart's in really great shape thanks to spinning classes.

When I was first starting out, if you were acting on television, it was a real stigma.

A friend of mine described it this way: When they were born it was like a meteor landed in our house and blew everything apart. We had to just put all the pieces back.

I was a fighter and very determined. There was no way I was going to back out without winning.

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

Theatre is more exciting in the sense that you can actually see the audience in the eye. You know there are no takes and retakes. You have one chance to do your job... and you better do it well!

One thing that has helped me to become patient and cool is that I grew up with sisters.

I love the silent era because you can see the rules being written, the grammar of film being created. Most of my films are in some way love letters to the silent era.

Things, things, things. Always more things, and success is seen as the abundance of things.

In my early teens, science fiction and fantasy had an almost-total hold over my imagination. Their outcast status was part of their appeal.

Dissent without action is consent.

A labyrinth of symbols... An invisible labyrinth of time.

I believe that we photographers don't benefit very much with answers from other photographers. What is more beneficial is to ask questions of ourselves and see what thoughts float out from within.

I don't think most people want to be unhappy. It's just something they've gotten good at.

Quality is always in style.

My sister and I are opposites in many ways. She is six feet tall, while I'm five feet four.
