People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.

I think "destiny" is just a fancy word for a psychological pattern.

How could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that's out there that we haven't discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don't know any better.

Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn't hurt your appreciation of the painting.

Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.

It's a skill that people are born with. Either you're a focuser or you're a multitasky person. I am a full-focus person.

Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.
