I have a garden in my backyard that's completely organic, which I'm very proud of.

I still giggle when someone asks for my address and I say, Hollywood, Los Angeles.

I believe in not whistling backstage and not saying the name of the Scottish play.

Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.

And...I think that's what life is all about, actually, about children and flowers.

It's a shame that it didn't work out with Mick. I was hopelessly in love with him.

I come from a small town in Maryland. I came to California in 1972 to begin Maude.

Every girl needs a shoe that goes with nothing and therefore goes with everything.

The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead.

Success is built on disappointment, and disappointment is inherent in all success.

The real actor - like any real artistj- has a direct line to the collective heart.

I'm in the middle of my sixth book, which is about animals at the Los Angeles Zoo.

I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that's about as much cooking as I do.

Our human population continues to expand at such a scary rate - it's unbelievable.

I want to encourage other young girls not to grow up too soon. Just enjoy the now.

They're one of - crocs and snakes are two of my favorite animals. They're so good.

What I have a problem with is money and name at the expense of talent and culture.

Women are such strong, powerful leaders, and a lot of the time, we play it silent.

Fashion may not be a weapon of the woman but at least it gives her the ammunition.

I have no regrets. If I wanted to keep acting, I would have never left the cinema.

In Denmark, when you marry, whether you have $1 million or just $10, you share it.

This is the moment behind which I could forget every other moment that has passed.

I find peace anywhere I go. It depends on what is within the walls of my own home.

I don't have any regrets in my life actually. I think that's a pretty good policy.

Style is about surviving, about having been through a lot and making it look easy.

I think the hardest thing to do in the world, show-business-wise, is write comedy.

Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.

That's why 'Star Wars' is appealing. You watch someone fight the perilous monster.

When I was a kid, my favorite after-school snack was hominy and pickled pigs feet.

I have two dogs and a parrot, so they require a lot of attention. They deserve it.

The one thing that all great cities have in common is that they are all different.

People expect a lot more from someone they think looks interesting. It's a burden.

There's nothing like having a history with someone, when you're in a foreign land.

I'm drawn to playing characters who are terribly flawed and have no idea about it.

You always want to please your choreographer, director. Dancers are just that way.

I think I've always been interested in playing people who are judged very harshly.

I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn't fit me.

I call my children "My Hundred Thousand Dollar Babies Before They Were Even Born"!

It's a very young mistake to assume that life is very serious. I get the joke now.

I'm an illegal alien and have been for many years. If you rub my skin, I go green.

Nothing clears my head and puts things in perspective quite like a long, hard run.

To free yourself from the past you must break the rules of silence and compliance.

I would really love to sit with Kathryn Hepburn because I find her so interesting.

What I do for exercise sort of depends on what's happening in the rest of my life.

I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am. What you see is what you get.

Don't compare yourself to others you have no idea what their journey is all about.

I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up.

I watch schlock telly. Like the 'Kardashians.' I love it. It's my guilty pleasure.

I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

When you do your best and live out your dreams, you inspire others to do the same.
