Just like my father, I've always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society.

I'll see a celadon green room in an 18th century New Hampshire house and just fall in love. Colors stay in my head.

I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

I have one son. Of everything I've done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.

I can say, 'I am terribly frightened and fear is terrible and awful and it makes me uncomfortable, so I won't do that because it makes me uncomfortable.' Or I could say, 'Get used to being uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable doing something that's risky. But so what? Do you want to stagnate and just be comfortable?'

I'm interested in the truth, and unauthorized biographies are not. Yes, I would like to correct those errors someday.
