When I got out of my Twenties I stopped playing women that were victims. I like playing women who are strong and have a piece of mind.

I am no size zero or super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.

I had a great time in my youth and I still feel youthful. I've no desire to look as though I'm in my 20s.

I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.

There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.

I try not to listen to the shoulds or coulds, and try to get beyond expectations, peer pressure, or trying to please - and just listen. I believe all the answers are ultimately within us.

I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.
