I'm just an actress. They try to give me as little information as possible.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

True freedom is the ability to respond consciously, in the most beneficial way, to whatever life throws at you.

I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.

Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

It is an unfortunate irony that music-making intended in part to attract new listeners is usually the least well rehearsed and motivated.

I just can't stand the sound of my voice sometimes, or how my face looks. There are always a few times at every premiere when I just have to cover my eyes when I'm up there.

You'll never make a fortune working for the boss man.

For the last thirty years in my career I never know what I'm doing next.

I can't imagine doing an hour-long dramatic series because it's so much work. A sitcom is a wonderful gig. You work from 10 to 4 every day, it's fun, and you get to live at home.

We must meditate on what God has done in our life instead of what we are still waiting on Him to do.

Pushing yourself to be the best is unsustainable. Simply push yourself to be better than the day before.
