For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.

I still don't want to be put in the feminist bag. I'm a humanist.

I wasn't taking drugs or drinking. I was working and working and working. But I wasn't writing anything.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

If you don't have what you need, just rock with what you've got!

In fact, I thought my calling was to be a painter.

Those were the things on my mind [stay healthy, take care of my kids and reestablish a relationship with the people], not career, money, drugs, sex, alcohol or fun. Not that there's anything wrong with any of those things, but they aren't in the film [Dream of Life], because that wasn't my life at the time.
