In terms of my life, I guess I want to share whatever I've learned really, which is basically one thing: know yourself, look for yourself, know what to look for, cherish it, be honest, be authentic, even if it hurts your feelings. That's not bad.

For if the talent or individuality is there, it should be expressed. If it doesn't find its way out into the air, it can be turned inward and gnaw like the fox at the Spartan boy's belly.

Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.

I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!

An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.

If I had a party to attend and didn't want to be there, I would play the part of someone who was having a lovely time.

I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
