I think the wonderful thing about doing theater is that it's more of an actor's medium. I think that film is more of a director's medium. You can't edit something out on stage. It's there.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.

I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.

There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.

I'm certainly not a prude.

I'm a woman of a certain age who doesn't have kids and never really settled down ... I enjoy kids but not for long periods. I think they're adorable and funny and sweet, and then I have a headache.

When I see a woman who looks her age, she's radiating something, and it's life.

Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.

I've learned that I can't have a packed work schedule and a packed social schedule and a packed personal life; I need to just have time to myself to sit and breathe and unwind.

That's what life is - you follow where your heart leads you - at least I do.

People are capable of great, great change during the span of one lifetime. And women even more than men.

When you're playing a romantic version of a real person, you're playing a version of the truth.

Law without penalty is only advise.

The deep art... That's the part that has to be guarded like a miser would his money... Like a dope addict would his dope... Like a lover with their love.

That I am not my experiences is very obvious. I am the one who is having those experiences. Spirituality has nothing to do with experience.

I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work.

I think I will have a lot of opportunities in the future.

To live with all my might, while I do live

Remember to think of your departed mother always as living, just away in another room of our Father's house.

Forget Halloween - Halloween to me is like every day. It's a lifestyle.
