I have many friends who do not believe in luck; they believe in blessings. Likewise, I do not believe in coincidences; I believe in miracles.

People say women shouldn't have long hair over a certain age, but I've never done what everyone says.

I find it interesting that 16-year-olds are having plastic surgery. People in their 40s used to think, 'I'm aging, I have to do something about it.' Now children are deciding they don't like the way they look.

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.

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.

After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself.

I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.
