My preferred environment is by the sea or somewhere rural. I don't want to be in a city, I don't want to visit New York and I don't want to go shopping.

What I do for a living is re-create human emotion, and that's a pretty weird thing to do from nine till five.

Your roots, your family, your friends all become so much more important to you as you get older, especially if you are a wandering minstrel like me.

Its either feast or famine, and thats the way its been for as long as I can remember. Ive spent my whole career thinking Ill never work again. Every actor lives with that insecurity. You just have to negotiate the rapids as they come.

I had no idea 'L.A. Law' would be so mega. I knew it was a big show, but I was just one actress in a group of many good, award-winning actresses.

If you build a career on being a beautiful young woman, that's going to be a short career. I have to establish I can act. I don't want to have to visit the plastic surgeon every two years.

I don't think atheism means one does not believe in a spiritual life. I think it means one does not follow the tenets of the established religions.
