I never just slide through anything. I explore everything to the fullest, whether good or bad.

To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.

So much of my sense of who I am is tied to mothering. When they left home, I fell into a huge, empty, black hole. Your children are grown and your career has slowed down - all the stuff that took up so much attention is gone, and you're left with expansive time and space.

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

Allow the diversity to exist. There is nothing wrong with it. Hell, we put up with the religious right-we can put up with transgendered human beings.

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.
