It's the relationships between people that are more important than the sort of far away fantasies of what the good life is, the world of supermodels and Bud ads.

I want my life to effect the balance to the positive.

We all struggle with our failure to communicate and our failure to reach beyond fear to love people.

I wanted to do something far from my intellectual and physical home, so I went to live in Beijing for eight months and took Mandarin Chinese.

Being is like pretending.

There's a side of my personality that goes completely against the educated & serious woman. The side who wants to be a pin-up girl in garages all across America!

I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it.
