Drink water between meals instead of with them so that the digestive juices will not be diluted.

The secret of losing weight is patience.

As I started getting older, I realized, 'I'm so happy!' I didn't expect this! I wasn't happy when I was young.

I am not a do-gooder. I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman.

Revolution is an act of love; we are the children of revolution, born to be rebels. It runs in our blood.

As I saw my 60th birthday approaching, I thought,What did 60 mean to me? I figured I'd probably live until I'm about 90, which meant that I was at the beginning of what I call my third act. As an actress, I know how important the third act is. It makes sense of the first and second acts. You can have first and second acts that are interesting, but you don't know what they mean. Then a good third act pulls it all together. And so I knew that, because I sat by my father's side over the long months when he was dying.

If I can change, anybody can change.
