I've been really very fortunate with the men I've been involved with. They've always really treated me very, very wonderfully. And whenever anything broke up, I was always the one to leave. So I think I've been really very, very lucky.

Cats are so interesting - endlessly fascinating.

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

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.

In anything there has to be dark and light. There's a lot of joy in my paintings and a lot of darkness.

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

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.
