I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.

I think when you're reaching outside of something you're comfortable doing, you're just heading towards a light. I don't think you stop to justify it.

Quit thinking about your weight and start thinking about your worth and who you are and what you haven't done yet. What you want to accomplish.

I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

What does the Academy Award mean? I don’t think it means much of anything.

It took me getting to my 50s before I could say "Whatever!" about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.
