My advice for achieving success is to make a career choice that reflects your passion. Then work your craft a little bit each day - even if someone's not paying you to do it. Try to balance your social life with your educational (or professional) life, and have patience.

I have a lot of very, very powerful women in my life. My mother being the first.

I know from teaching, that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.

It is the strength of the mother that is going to change the way the world is. It's the compassion, the love, the very open spirited mother and woman that will move us forward in this new century. It's no doubt.

I'm a big fan of period pieces, and I'm a big fan of the old-time westerns.

It's certain that the death of an actor can be on a television screen playing the same thing every week.

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