When you're an older woman [in a movie] you tend to be in - how did you put it? You're the brunt of the joke.

You spend all your life trying to do something they put people in asylums for.

Who am I? I'm a survivor. I'm a woman with tremendous inner resources and resilience. I care about people. I believe in 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,' and I live by that. I am becoming authentic, and that's important to me. I have surpassed both my parents in terms of emotional stability, happiness and well-being. And I'm a lucky woman. I've deserved my luck.

Reproductive freedom is a real danger for the patriarchy, because it means that women are empowered.

I like playing that character who brings love to people, who puts people in a place where they're apt to encounter love.

Through therapy and a lot of thinking and writing my memoirs, I've been able to use my life as a lesson.

If our work is stimulating and rewarding, if it pushes us to grow...we become more valuable human beings.
