I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Acting is really only part of my life. I'm addicted to it.

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.

Onstage or in films, you do affect peoples' lives, and sometimes that's very gratifying. But still, there's this little voice that says you should be doing something that matters.
