I made a conscious decision back then that I would rather be the best actress who ever lived than the most famous one.

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

My favorite actresses were Geraldine Paige, Anne Bancroft and Kim Stanley.

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.

Our church has been legal since late 1960s. I've been involved since 1972. I was ordained in 1975.

Everyone should have a moment with Ron Howard in their life to give you faith in our industry.

I had no idea that he was going to write that, but I've always believed that insecurity was what would keep you always in your innocence, no matter what the business did.
