People ask me how I manage without a man in the same tone they might ask someone how they're doing with just one lung, but it's not like that at all.

Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.

It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.

To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness.

War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love.

I'm a romantic and will only marry for love where there's respect and compatibility. I'd like to be with someone if the right person came along. I really like male company. I like the male mind.

With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.

I have done so many love scenes in the past that I have learned how to pull off a sexy smoulder on the dance floor.

I've never felt the need to be defined by a man.

I am simply not such a slave to my vanity, and I don't want to be, because as you get older you really have to start accepting the inevitable.

Sadly, the timing's never been right. There have been men who would have married me but I didn't feel the same, and vice versa.

Prayer is better than pills.

I see social mobility and equality of opportunity as really successful Canadian values.

Im always interested in looking - historically - at how theater can animate history and how all of that can make us engage with our lives in an enriching way.

When I first went to New York I was right out of high school, I was 17 years old, and I had never seen a building over two stories high.

Marriage is like a fine aged wine. It has to endure its Time of Fermenting before its full-bodied Flavor and Bouquetcan be appreciate.

I just do whatever I feel. Whatever the beat makes me say, I do that and I run with that.

Everything we do is about the emotion of the characters. We believe the better the emotion, the better the movie.

Silence gives answers.

I come from a long ago era where men could be men and stereotypical humor didn't offend anybody.

I think the past is something I have spent a lot of time thinking about, not only what is different about the past but what's the same, and what links us to the past.
