Being thin is not more important than enjoying life

I'm a size 8, and I feel proud of that, because it's healthy. I've never felt compelled to be a skinny actress.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad Idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is: if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone.

Life begins at 40, and I'm living proof.

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.

The only reason I have the career I have is that I didn't quit.
