It's hard for women at my age in Hollywood, but I'm not discouraged.

Namby-pamby little routines that don't speed up your heartbeat and make you sweat aren't worth your while.

A mother who is obsessing about being thin and dieting and exercising is not going to be a very good mother.

When you know in your heart why you did something, and you feel and you know that in spite of all the controversy that it was right, doesn't matter.

When a significant other - a spouse, a parent or someone you're close to - is dying, it forces you to think about your life, about what you feel about death. What I realized from my dad's dying was that I wasn't scared of dying. But I was terrified of regrets. I was terrified of getting to the end of my life with a lot of Why didn't I's.

I see many more men who are feminist, or at least who have learned about life in the context of feminism.

We cannot elect men to office who are afraid of premature evacuation.
