I'm writing a book and working on my one-woman show, Learning To Be Human.

So many directors are solely focused on their own success in Hollywood and multimillion dollar budgets and deals.

This house was our dream-the gardens, the study, even the swimming pool. Even though I can't see John when I wake up in the morning, I can always feel him here with me.

When you're a woman in your 40s, it's not the best time to do films, because there really aren't that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.

I did the occasional odd film, like Endless Love.

The other death for an actor is comparing yourself to other people: Forget someone else's path. Concentrate on your path. Otherwise, you get lost, and if you don't have joy in the work, forget it.
