As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one's talent or value.

If there are no films or plays of interest to me, I don't go. I know how to go to a museum or a library or pick up a good magazine or I can watch the sun set. I know how to live. There's a whole creation out there full of magic and wonder to be explored.

I want people to see some of their own humanity no matter who they are.

Loving oneself isn't hard, when you understand who and what 'yourself' is. It has nothing to do with the shape of your face, the size of your eyes, the length of your hair or the quality of your clothes. It's so beyond all of those things and it's what gives life to everything about you. Your own self is such a treasure.

A person can be big, because of spirit. A person can be big because of their position in the family, the hierarchy in the family. That role has been played by women who are quite thin.

When you're free from the idea of doership then something else within you emerges. It is yourself.

What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.
