The truth in acting is that we are all hired help. We are a commodity. There is no difference between being an actor and pork bellies.

If I am going to get in a cab to go home, and I see a sign for an open house, I will go in. I like real estate because I am the boss.

I am the boss of me. You can't change anyone else. Women think they can. But you know what? You can't.

I was so busy fighting and so busy trying to keep everything above water that I didn't realize I was spiraling downward with nowhere to go.

I have no problem with women in the military, if that's what they want to do.

I learned nothing while I was in school.

Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.

My family was blue collar, a middle-class kind of thing. My father was born in Detroit, Italian-American. My mother is English. She acted on the stage with Diana Dors. Her parents were French.

I don't think I am narcissistic. I think I have low self-esteem.

It's hard to keep a play alive moment-to-moment, you know? But there's another part of it that I really love, which is that you never know.

I was lucky to live 10 years in France, so I learned how to eat and drink there.

Creativity is the residue of time wasted.

A life without a VISION is a like a man who can see but does not know where he is going. That is what I call psychological blindness. Eyes wide open but does not know his destination.

These people are amazing. It's so emotional I was thinking about wearing waterproof mascara.

It's amazing how many things you can do when you're just pretending.

There were statistically more women than men on the planet. Why should every major religion have been founded by men and propagated by men?

I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching, a total fricking rock star from Mars...

The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.

Curiously, the United States is full of writers who have one big work in their life and that's all.

The people accusing me of being productive don't know how hard it is for me to just bend my elbow sometimes.

I still have a passion for the music, which is such a beautiful thing. I still wake up in the middle of the night out of a dream and have a melody in my head, and run to my piano.
