I left acting for 15 years, and I think it's really nice to have another life. I took too much for granted when I was younger.

Lee Strasberg told me I had talent. Real talent. It was the first time that anyone, except my father--who had to say so--told me I was good. At anything. It was a turning point in my life. I went to bed thinking about acting. I woke up thinking about acting. It was like the roof had come off my life!

Denial can be a pathology or a survival mechanism - and sometimes it's both.

The challenge is not to be perfect. It’s to be whole.

pragmatist that I am, I always meet necessity with enthusiasm.

Just saw American Sniper. Powerful. Another view of Coming Home. Bradley Cooper sensational. Bravo Clint Eastwood.

We all, in fact, carry so many people inside us; the only difference is that actors get paid for it, and we sort of spruce it up a bit.
