thinking people insane
I think we live in a time where people are just insane on the subject of how they look,
adventure artist parent
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.
people want able
I'm much more famous than I am rich, but I'm able to scale back my lifestyle. I know a lot of people who were where I was who can't imagine living any simpler, but I haven't got a lot of expensive wants.
real years acting
I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.
girl fashion husband
You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
real thinking years
I think that I was lucky that I was 30 when I did 'Love Story', which came with this extravagant pop celebrity. I had already done 15 years of what I call 'real' work.' I was a waitress, chambermaid, and a photographer's assistant, so I knew that I was tremendously lucky as a novice actor to have that big hit.
emotional people perfection
I'm in total awe of the technique of great film people. Because if you get your emotional life up to perfection by miracle on Take One, you better have a technique to keep doing it again and again and again.
animal compassion race
I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.
yoga
I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
yoga thinking careers
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.
years want
It's not so much what do I want to be doing in 15 years, it's how I want to be in 15 years.
people england wells
People tell me that I am well-grounded. I am sane in the New England sense of the word.
drama priorities quality
The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.
drama people enjoy
I don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.
