So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.

I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

You may reach the tree top, and seem to touch the sky, but know that the tree your resting on, is grounded and rooted in the soil, deep in the earth.

If you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it's always expensive.

It is so much hard work writing your first novel. You're not even sure that it is possible to do.

Words and pictures are yin and yang. Married, they produce a progeny more interesting than either parent.

Your level of achievement will rise to meet the level of your purpose.

There's always room for improvement, but the judges are looking for big airs and stylish tricks.

Ask anyone who knows me - I am constantly moving things around in my place.
