I remember the days of auditioning and being nervous and so I really didn't want to make people have to jump through hoops to do auditions and be nervous and make them more nervous. I kind of wanted to hire everybody and find something for everybody.

Nothing would mean anything if I didn't live a life of use to others.

When I get logical, and I don't trust my instincts - that's when I get in trouble.

I think doing anything having to do with war, you walk away so very grateful for everything you have and the safety that you have.

I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down the street.

I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.

We need to be open minded to understand that there are lots of different levels of things going on and we shouldn't be so quick to judge - and certainly not to judge a whole race, a whole religion or a whole people - and a lot of that is going on.
