It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.

I've always preferred animals to little girls or boys. I had my first horse - actually it was a Newfoundland pony - when I was three, and I loved riding, without anyone shackling me - riding bareback as fast as I could.

I hate myself on the screen. I want to die ... my voice is either too high or too gravelly. I want to dive under the carpet.... I'd love to be tall and willowy ... I'm short.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you're cooked!

When I'm not with the one I love, I love the one I'm with.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being - to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame.
