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

If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.

I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.

Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.

Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It's everything. And it's where you learn everything.

Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.

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