Many times, working is kind of like channeling, and I really don't know what's going to fall on the page. I just did this image of a fat girl and put her on a tiny mountain peak of grass that she's walking over. It just amused me.

I've always believed that one woman's success can only help another woman's success.

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

I have a tremendous appetite for life; the phone rings and your whole life could change.

I've had many, many loves. I always feel that something wonderful is going to happen. And it always does.

If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.

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.
