Psychiatrists don't solve anything from one day to the next.

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.

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.

If you don't keep challenging your mind and your self, you're going to loose the ability to grow as a human being both physically and spiritually.

The decker these ***holes brought with them is top tier, but I'm going to stomp his jelly beans so hard his kids will be born crooked.

For most of us the prayer in Gethsemane is the only model. Removing mountains can wait.

I always wanted to be an independent maverick, writing plays and putting them on myself.

If you've got just a little bit of faith as a grain of mustard seed, and begin to praise God - that faith will mount up, until fear won't be able to stay in your heart.

I saw the lightnings gleaming rod. Reach forth and write upon the sky The awful autograph of God.

It's rather hard to decide just when people are grown up.

If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

I have no family to take care of.

But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
