I like to watch people. For example, people at the airport... What is interesting about them is that they dont know what they are like. People at airports are the most brilliant actors in the world, because their attention is elsewhere, and they are idiosyncratic. I like to imitate people. I walk behind them and imitate their backs.

There were all these rumors about me... so I went indoors. No one saw me for years. And since I wasnt around, people believed what they wanted.

I love what I do, so it's not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I'd be dead in a week.

If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I'm sorry, I don't believe that's America.

If you didn't know that I am an actress, I don't think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She's 16, so of course I bore her.

I've been invited to do a trio with a fantastic jazz guitarist and a harmonica player
