The theater is where I belonged; I simply wanted to be an actress my whole life.

I talk about acting to students making the transition from high school to UCLA. Kids going into this profession really need to know the reality of it.

I've always been very involved in anything that had to do with lung disease or cancer.

I think you should not limit yourself to dating somebody older or younger.

I'd had my daughter when I was a teenager - I took my daughter to college with me.

My grandmother was a teacher, my sister was a teacher, my daughter was a teacher and is now a superintendent in northern California, and my son-in-law is a high school principal. I am surrounded.

My sister and I are both diagnosed with second-hand smoke syndromes. We have never smoked, but we grew up with second-hand smoke our entire lives.
