With my ministry of light, part of what I do is work on the California Alliance For Arts Education.

I think I'm more European in personality.

The only thing that I could think of to do was to be an actress.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

A lot of my joy this year has been to give away awards to young people, no matter of race, creed or color, because they were a terrific violinist or a terrific dancer.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.
