I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.

I'm kind of a recluse.

I still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.

My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.

Years are not important, my dear.

You can't take responsibility for everything. You can't have that kind of control. At some point, it's all out of our hands.

I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.
