I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.

When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'

I was really involved with other people's opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don't have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It's not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that.

My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.

My entire career stands on the strong pillars of women-oriented films. This stems from the fact that I am sensitive to the entire aura and mystique of a woman and womanhood.

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.

I'm trying to solidify a long-term career, because I have no other skills and no other abilities.

The more work you put in, and the more you constantly and consistently give good performances against good opponents and constantly exceed people's expectations, the more you really endear yourself to the crowd. That's how your career takes off - it's just consistency and time.
