Robert Kennedy was such an inspiring figure. His interest in politics seemed to come not from a desire for power, but from a need to help our society live up to its ideals.

I did 'The Karate Kid,' then I just went back to college. I didn't know how much money it made and I didn't have a publicist. I didn't have any sense of the business part of it.

After three major movies, I was like, 'Oh, I guess you're supposed to get a publicist?' Girls that are in the business now that are successful are more savvy.

I spent my whole life trying to play the games males play.

I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.

Every experience makes you grow.

It would be really wonderful if people connected to the loneliness of what it means to be a human being in the world today.
