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

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

Art brings a message into a room. It should make us perceive in a new way - either through color, form or narrative content - something we had not perceived before... and perhaps reveal something to you about yourself.

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.

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

The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.

A home is very, very important to me. But I do change things around a lot.
