I think children learn from example. I don't believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere.

I noticed that almost everyone I went to college with has worked at something other than the subject they majored in. I guess that's one of the reasons for campus unrest.

I'm interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them.

Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons' feelings, a courtesy that's inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I'm immediately impressed.

I answer a fan with a hearing heart first.

True friendships don't fade in Hollywood, as so many myths about show business would have you insist.

Frequently parents forget that children are people. I don't try to treat Kristen as an adult, but I do try to treat her as a person, with a child's sensibilities.
