If you're working on something that isn't very demanding, isn't very fulfilling, then you have all this energy to burn, and you can go crazy.

I do think that, at one time, being an actress was the equivalent almost of being a prostitute. It garnered roughly the same respect. That's changed a lot, thank goodness.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

I never wanted to have to take a job because I didn't have any money.

One of the things I love most about acting is just disappearing in the role, as much as I can. I think that's one of the things that intrigued me about it.

If I really want to do something, I'll go in and do whatever the director feels that he needs me to do.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.
