Feminism is about ultimate, limitless reality.

I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We're supposed to be complete and whole, and you can't be whole if you're trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please.

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

We are living on average today 34 years longer than our great-grandparents did.

My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.

If I can change, anybody can change.

We're still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That's the old metaphor: You're born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude.
