Don't think for one minute, whoever you are, that you're not important. You're so vitally important to stand up and be heard and do what it is you do.

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

I've had such an odd career. I always wanted to be a great actor. I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn - ish - there was a bit of nobility about her. Instead I've always felt like the mutt standing on the sidelines, panting and saying, "Me, too! How about me?" That's just part of my personality.

Like a jerk, I went to a nutritionist and I ate the most repulsive, awful things. I didn't allow myself to eat chocolate cake and french fries and cheeseburgers.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don't have anything to do with my nose.
