I'm certainly not a prude.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.

I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.

There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.

I'm a woman of a certain age who doesn't have kids and never really settled down ... I enjoy kids but not for long periods. I think they're adorable and funny and sweet, and then I have a headache.

When I see a woman who looks her age, she's radiating something, and it's life.

Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.

I've learned that I can't have a packed work schedule and a packed social schedule and a packed personal life; I need to just have time to myself to sit and breathe and unwind.

That's what life is - you follow where your heart leads you - at least I do.

Art is an expression of who you are. Parts that I play are my sculptures.

A thorough inspection of someone you believed to be loveable will send you back into your shell if all you saw in their life was all bullshit.

Canada is not so much a country as a clothesline nearly 4 000 miles long. St John's in Newfoundland is closer to Milan Italy than to Vancouver.

My deep relations with fashion started in Paris in 1980s, when I was appointed head of The Fashion History course at French Esmod fashion school, the biggest and the best in those years in Paris.

You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

Doubt is not the enemy of justice; overconfidence is.

It was cool to feel this global electronic thing happening. But it just got to be too much at a certain point.

The problem for us is less to discover the way it really is than to see the meaning of the way.

The highway of life is filled with flat squirrels that couldn't make a decision.

It's not enough to do good. You have to be seen doing good.

Dedication: My thanks to the people who showed me that opera was stranger than I could imagine. I can best repay their kindness by not mentioning their names here.
