Everything is transient. Everything is constantly changing. The only thing we have is now.

I have been a waitress, and I was a damn fine waitress too, let me tell you.

I do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.

It [military action on Iraq] makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States. It is humiliating.

I had a big family - two older sisters and a younger brother. My family was like moving around a lot so I lived in a lot of small towns. My father was very restless.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.
