I don't want anyone to tell me something.

I feel about my dogs now, and all the dogs I had prior to this, the way I feel about children—they are that important to me. When I have lost a dog I have gone into a mourning period that lasted for months.

I'm not an actress who can create a character. I play me.

When the doctor said I had diabetes, I conjured images of languishing on a chaise longue nibbling chocolates. I have no idea why I thought this.

I don't think you should ever expect forever in anything, in either platonic friendships or sexual friendships.

There are certain things about me that I will never tell to anyone because I am a very private person. But basically, what you see is who I am. I'm independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I'm positive, I'm disciplined, I like my life in order, and I'm neat as a pin.

But I'm very happy with my life the way it has been turning out. A little time in the country, a little time with the animals and working on behalf of them.
