Stephen Shadley is a great collaborator. Over the years I've seen him work with a wide variety of clients and stylistic approaches. He listens to people in a way that makes them feel like they're part of the process. Steve is an inspiration on all fronts, and, believe me, that's a rare quality.

As an actress, I'm drawn to emotion and expressing the human condition in all its forms, and I'm fortunate to have thoughts and feelings at my fingertips.

I don't want to watch [films I was acting in]. I've had enough of me.

The thing is, though, that some of these people are my age, right? And I didn't know them. I didn't know Susan Sarandon. I mean, I'd seen her.

That's what I learned. I learned I couldn't shed light on love other than to feel its comings and goings and be grateful.

It's kind of true, you do disappear off the planet if you are a middle-aged woman, but that has some advantages as well.

I am absolutely intrigued by life, and I really want to hold onto it.
