I just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations.

Sometimes, when you work with mediocre talents, they feel entitled. They act like stars. Genuinely talented people don't.

Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love.

He (son Jason) doesn't see me as a (gay) icon, he sees me as his mother who touches his hair too much. No, I love being an icon to anybody. Equal rights, you know?

It always gave me the creeps when I saw performers who desperately wanted the audience to like them. That's not what I'm about.

I always wear the same thing at home. I can't be bothered with jewelry. My pants have elastic waists. I like to be comfortable. There are so many more important things to worry about.

It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.
