I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.

When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.

I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.

I was really involved with other people's opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don't have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It's not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that.

There are so many kinds of love, and they're all very intense for me.

I'm a New Yorker, and working in New York was divine for me. I loved working there and going to work there, which I've been able to do three or four times in my career, and I just love it. It's my favorite.
