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.

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.

I don't like cold people at all. It makes me feel really insecure.

I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside.

When anybody says, 'Why me?' Why is 'me' exempt?

I like to repaint rooms, to redecorate. My dream would be to have pieds-à-terre in various places.
