I always dreamed when I was a little girl interested in animals that I would go live in Africa. Then I found out that you can look in your backyard, and you can do your own safari.
I always encourage women to let their individuality show by not covering up what they perceive as flaws. When I see a woman with the natural wrinkles of time on her face, I do not see the wrinkles at all, but when I see a woman trying to cover them up with too much foundation or concealer, all I see are her wrinkles.
You don't do an experimental film to become rich, so the people who are involved are involved because they enjoy the creative aspect of it.
There is often a great disparity between a director's personal style and the movies he makes.
The first time I went to Hollywood, I was 25 years old. My background was mostly Italian.
My films are comical films. They are made to laugh at. They are comical - and scientifically correct.
Many years in New York has made me urban, and I won't eat my chicken because I met him personally!
It took me a long time to be accepted as an actress, I think, because of the modeling and because of my mother.
It always amazed me that people believed I was this beautiful object.
I seldom look at myself to avoid any self-criticism.
I loved my career as a model, and that evolved into being an actress.
I live in the country. I'm a bird-watcher, an oyster-raiser. You know, I'll do anything that - raise dogs for the blind as a volunteer.
I like to extend myself as an actress and David really helped me.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals and been fascinated with them.
