You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you've lost a lot of people, you realize each day is a gift.

I think your self emerges more clearly over time.

That's my way in the very beginning - how to enter it [a role]. Very quickly in the process, I don't think about voice being separate from the way you hold your head or the way you sit or the way you put on lipstick. It's all a piece of a person, and it's all driven by conviction.

Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.

I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities.

Fear focuses the mind.

I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived.
