My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.

It's taken me 40-something years, but I embrace the curl. My littlest daughter has the same hair. She likes it when my hair is curly, so I wear it for her.

I yearn for things, but at the same time I am just peaceful.

Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It's something quite magical.

The more you love, the more you crave.

You've got to find your bliss as a human being, because if you can follow that, everything else falls into place.

Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
