I'm much more famous than I am rich, but I'm able to scale back my lifestyle. I know a lot of people who were where I was who can't imagine living any simpler, but I haven't got a lot of expensive wants.

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.

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

I don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.

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'm in total awe of the technique of great film people. Because if you get your emotional life up to perfection by miracle on Take One, you better have a technique to keep doing it again and again and again.

I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.
