Getting fit is a political act - you are taking charge of your life.

When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad. I sure identify with that.

Christ was the first feminist and because of that I've learned from his teaching to call myself a Christian feminist, adding that her faith is not a matter of traditions and dogmas but, rather, a spiritual experience.

Being by myself, that is to say, without a man - it's been a long time - is allowing me to know what it feels like - to live in my own skin, to remember what I miss and don't miss about a relationship.

I was so devastated by my second divorce that I had a nervous breakdown.

Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?

My life is a stairway to heaven, not a 'decline into decrepitude.
