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.

I love to decorate and redecorate. Now it's called interior design, but the term decorating is fine with me.

I'll always remain friends with men I've been in love with. Each one gave me so much, in so many ways.

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

When I'm traveling to promote my book, I feel like an artful impostor. What I really am is when I'm in my (painter's) studio and when I'm writing. With actors, it's the same thing. They're kind of artful impostors in public. When you get to know them, they're different people.

You breathe in and out; you breathe in and you breathe out, and you live one moment into the next moment, and then time goes by, and you find you're able to put one foot in front of the other.

Everything in life is elusive.
