I've been very lucky. I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't really have the drive to sell myself. Fortunately I had a terrific agent in New York who kept me going from job to job.

We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.

I think I have a lot of crazy layers.

You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.

My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.

You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have and stop begrudging the ones you never got to make.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

Onstage or in films, you do affect peoples' lives, and sometimes that's very gratifying. But still, there's this little voice that says you should be doing something that matters.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

Life is about giving yourself away in the service of others. Life is not about living just to live.

A bad friend is nothing but a spy

When governments are selling, you should be buying. And when governments are defaulting, we should look at that as an opportunity.

If you're lonely, bored, or unhappy, remember you are mad young. There is so much time to meet new people and go to new places.

The best way to make money in business is not to think too much about making it.

Sometimes being a good friend means saying nothing.

I think if you're not willing to wear your own clothes, you're doing something wrong. If you're not wearing your own line, you're taking all the fun out of it.

Trust me. A storm is brewing inside this cool cat now. She'll gradually break down and you'll see what's behind the clouds.

I can never accomplish what I want - only what I would have wanted had I thought of it beforehand.
