My father always told me, you can only be your own best. In other words, if you feel you've done your best, you've done well enough.

Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.

I've had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.

When I was growing up, my mother, who had been through a lot of terrible things in life, taught me that when life is tough your instinct is to close your heart. But if you can accept what happened and reach out to someone, there will always be someone less fortunate, or someone that can bring a solution and help your life.

We must teach the next generation to not just learn languages, but whole cultures and belief systems. We will then make more of an effort to understand people and their different cultures.

Every once in a while I go off to do a movie or a television series and I take my art with me. I can stay in character when I paint.

The Open Hearts design was inspired by my Mom's advice that only when you keep your heart open can you best give and receive love. My hope is that the design will become a universal symbol of keeping an open heart - open to life's new experiences, open to allow something new and beautiful to come in.
