Acting is, to me now, artificial. Seeing people suffer is real. It couldn't be more real. Some people don't like to look at it in the face because it's painful. But if nobody does, then nothing gets done.

I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive.

I've only slept with men I've been married to. How many women can make that claim?

I don't entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I'm me. God knows, I'm me.

I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife.

Success is a great deodorant.

My favorite name for a color is "puce." It's kind of a dried blood color. It's a hideous color. But I love the word. It's so euphonic. But my favorite colors are lavender, purple, periwinkle blue, and white.
