The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.

I get nervous the more time I have to think about something so I deliberately don't give myself too much time between jobs. I take a big break and then I start working again usually.

Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.

I feel very strongly that we make decisions about what we're giving to the world, what we're withholding from the world, by virtue of what we put on our bodies.

The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.

I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.

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