I read neither good nor bad about me. I let it not even in my life, so it has no effect on me. I am very sensitive.

My whole life had been spent waiting for an epiphany, a manifestation of God's presence, the kind of transcendent, magical experience that lets you see your place in the big picture. And that is what I had with my first [compost] heap.

The [film] business is run by men, and they're basically interested in their own species, and they're not so interested in women belonging to the human race.

My parents have not insisted that we go to college, but she wanted us to learn. Teacher, librarian, secretary, nurse. All my siblings were employed. But I wanted to be the boss, an independent contractor.

Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.

I'm so glad to be back in New York. Los Angeles can be so cold, so cruel after you've been-what's the word?-oh yes: 'fired.'

America is so caught up in this celebrity mania!
