I don't want to look old and worn, but what can you do? My real focus is being an actor. I care more about having the opportunity to play roles that I haven't played than I care if my neck looks like someone's bedroom curtains.

Change is never easy.

My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me.

You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.

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

Had there not been a Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. She found him when he was a young lawyer and really a bumpkin. No one knew of him, but she recognized his brilliance.

I've never had my heart broken.
