I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.

There's such a grace and understanding in the female persona when women have really come into their own. Part of that is to have children, and to be caring for those children, and not only in the care for them, but also in the nurturing and raising of them, they have to pass on their souls and their intelligence. And all those things can't be taught. It's something that, that in the essence of a woman, the essence of a mother, a mother knows!

I practice yoga every day. The practice calms my spirit, and allows me to be present.

I can only control what I do. I can try to suggest and be open, but trust is the key.

I can fish from a stick and a string.

The beauty of the unexpected and unknown, and it's certainly very tantalizing for me as an actor. Other actors can't deal with that; they want to know, but then they make choices and decisions with that knowledge because that knowledge gives them forethought, and they can think about how they want to play something that takes away spontaneity of what they could be doing.

If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.
