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.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

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.

Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.

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.
