I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.

Cruelty to animals can become violence to humans.

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

People tell me that I am well-grounded. I am sane in the New England sense of the word.

I think that I was lucky that I was 30 when I did 'Love Story', which came with this extravagant pop celebrity. I had already done 15 years of what I call 'real' work.' I was a waitress, chambermaid, and a photographer's assistant, so I knew that I was tremendously lucky as a novice actor to have that big hit.

Every one of us gets to find our way, hopefully surrounded by love, but we still have to pick out our own way through the land mines of life. By accepting this and relinquishing control, there's just extraordinary beauty.

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And I travel a tremendous amount. I'm in New York and California a lot, but then also I like faraway places a lot.
