I come from the theater and I plan to always do theater. So I don't really see myself not being able to act even if people don't think I am sexy enough for film at 40, I'll still be acting.

I think everything in life happens for a reason. I always think there's room for me to improve as a person.

You're able to make a real difference. If a woman's able to step away financially, she's able to begin to do all the other work.

That's what acting is - it's about having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.

I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living, I also think it's really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society.

Your life is your story, and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential.

To meet somebody who's able to harness the level of courage it takes to walk away and to choose your own life and your own health, the well-being of your family, is really inspiring.
