I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.

Throughout my life I have taken detours in acting and writing, but art remains my abiding passion.

There's a saying I read recently; I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: "Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle." We all are. Everyone.

Why not me? Suffering, she understood, is, in fact, random, universal.

I'm always in love. If it's not with a man, it's something else. I love beauty. I love the sky I see outside the window. There's so much beauty in the world.

Cats are so interesting - endlessly fascinating.

I was fearless. Wild horses couldn't stop me.
