beyond women
I am blessed beyond reason with women friends.
absolutely discover intimacy known true
The only thing I have never known is true intimacy with a man. I absolutely wanted to discover that before dying.
agony becoming fun left reason wondered
The reason why I left 15 years ago was because it was becoming agony for me, ... But I'm a very different person, so I wondered if it would be fun again. You know, why not?
majority school
We need to get a majority on the school board,
No, no, for a long time, I couldn't look at it, ... I thought that it was politically incorrect, you know.
given
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.
bus plan speak vacuum
I would be a distraction--and the vacuum has been filled. That said, I plan to speak out and write some op-ed pieces, but no bus tour.
accept age birth educated girls longer money nation neither nor time waste
We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2,000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.
acting feminism way
I knew that my newfound activism and feminism was going to improve my acting, because I was seeing things not just in very narrow, individual, kind of Freudian terms, but seeing them in a much broader, societal way that was going to deepen and enrich my talent.
successful men long
My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.
soul musical acting
What's totally terrifying is that, unlike a musician who has a musical instrument, or a painter that's got a canvas and a brush, acting is us. Our energy, our soul, our spirits. And it's so hard because it's so vulnerable. You're exposing everything.
powerful talking soul
I found that you're more powerful when talking from your soul.
giving challenges needs
We need women friends, women who challenge us. I have chosen not to have any more plastic surgery. Sally Field and I have kind of made a pact about that. It's really hard, especially if you're a public person. But I want to give a face to aging.
perfect good-enough enough
Good enough is good enough. We're not supposed to be perfect. We're supposed to be complete.
