Being a gossip reporter just isn't a respectable job. It'll chew you up and spit you out.

My male friends don't seem to have any feelings of intimidation that I am a 100-watt sex bomb standing next to them.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that.

Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.

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.

There's a positive side to film and television, the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you, hopefully, and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.
