No more bare bodies in film scenes for me. For my children's sake, I must stop. The other kids at school keep throwing it up to my children, and they are not kind.

There is a certain androgyny to my appeal.

Acting is a matter of giving away secrets.

I eat cheese and salami and a lot of fried chicken. I eat a big bag of oatmeal-raisin cookies every night and I don't gain weight. I still look OK as long as I'm dressed.

Men who love their mothers treat women wonderfully. And they have enormous respect for women.

I studied acting for 10 years before I went for an audition. I studied with Lee Strasberg and Actors Studio teachers, and went to the High School of Performing Arts.

When I played Leonardo DiCaprio's mother, they liked that Leo had very hooded eyes and a rounded nose with a ball. They said, They look like they could be mother and son.

My first movie was 'Diner.' My second movie was 'Tender Mercies.' I did really good work.

The more powerful you become, some people especially don't like it that you're a woman. I stick up for myself.

My nickname was Skinabo - skin and bones.

My husband thinks he's compromising if we have one cook instead of three.

The basic teachings of the Protestants were all surrounding values, ethics and morals

Be silent and listen to the song of your soul.

You cannot play with fire.

Whenever you set a goal of any kind, you will have to grow and develop to the point where you are ready to achieve it.

If there were any justice in this world, people would occasionally be permitted to fly over pigeons.

The world's theology is easy to define. It is the view that human beings are basically good, that no one is really lost, that belief in Jesus Christ is not necessary for salvation.

The more we learn, the more questions arise.

Love is exclusivity, selection.

Love yourself and you can heal your life.

In God's pattern of justice, He takes the risk of the guilty going free but not the innocent being punished.
