Writing is not some quiet, closet act.

It was no hardship to me to spend long hours reading and writing.

I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.

I was always a tomboy as a kid. I always had boyfriends. I was just a regular girl growing up in the late '50s and early '60s, but I was never really attracted to what the girls were attracted to: makeup, my appearance, homemaking.

It will not fall away. Man cannot judge it. For art sings of God, and ultimately belongs to Him.

The whole process of working with Steven [Sebring] and being filmed by him helped me psychologically to get my feet back on the ground.

In any performance, you're on stage for two hours, and there's 40 seconds or maybe a whole five minutes where you feel like the whole universe is in place, and you've gone even beyond the universe that you know.
