Why, when I was a child, I didn't say, as most children do, that I was going to become an actress. I felt that I was an actress and no one could have convinced me that I wasn't!

Should l go on playing bridge and dining, going in the same old monotonous circle? It's easy that way, but it's a sort of suicide, too.

I had an interest, for as long as I could remember, in theater.

I'm fascinated by the idea of disparate, difficult people learning to trust each other when they're thrust into hellish circumstances.

I was an angel of the desert. In your arms I broke my wings.

Well to be perfectly frank with you I never created art or have done demonstrations for anyone before myself artistically. I always do it to try to push my own envelope to be the best I can be.

Seventy-five per cent of being successful as an actor is pure luck. The rest is just endurance.

There is always something wrong with a song, you can't be perfect.

I don't think I'm that intellectual.

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.

Today's complexities demand greater simplicity.

As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother.

I try not to have too many opinions; I just marvel at the world we live in.
