People love coming on television, even if they have to show their miseries.

You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.

Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.

I chose the most explosive dress I could find. I put a ton of makeup on and some great round earrings. I looked like Jennifer Jones in Duel in the Sun.

Compared to dancing, films seemed to me to be the work of lay bums. There was no physical pain; it was enough to say and imagine what was in the script. It was very easy for me.

When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.

My first vocation was dance.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting.

My current companion, Gerard de Battista, is the father of my two sons.

My love for you is a prayer, she thought. Love is the only prayer I know.

I know what it feels like to miss everything about him--the way he smells, the way his mouth curls up when he laughs, his voice.

Generosity is inverted prosperity.

I've come to believe that how we choose to live with pain, or injustice, or death....is the true measure of the Divine within us.

Theres nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.

Business and its logic of productivity have become the reference point in a society that thinks marketing every time it opens its mouth.

And he, who servilely creeps after sense, Is safe, but ne'er will reach an excellence.

Listening is the new prospecting.

A real artist is the one who has learned to recognize and to render... the 'radiance' of all things as an epiphany or showing forth of the truth.

The signal is the truth. The noise is what distracts us from the truth.
