heart doors speak
Studios weren't banging on my door to offer me parts... And I thought, well how am I ever going to make movies that speak to my heart and to my values?
heart matter spite
When you know in your heart why you did something, and you feel and you know that in spite of all the controversy that it was right, doesn't matter.
love heart steps
The vulnerability of opening your heart fully and deeply to another is terrifying, but at a point in my 50s, I realized that I had to step up to the plate.
country war heart
When women have reclaimed their voices and men reclaimed their hearts, we won't be invading countries, we won't be feeling that we have the right to launch preemptive wars.
hate heart thinking
What I learned is, we have to listen to each other, even when we don't agree, even when we think we hate each other. We have to listen to each others narratives. Not interrupt defensively, or with hostility, but really try to open our hearts and listen with empathy. I learned so much from that meeting. It was a very difficult thing to do and it was one of the best things that I ever did in my life. Look what scares you in the face, and try to understand it. Empathy, I have learned, is revolutionary.
love
I love mistakes because it's the only way you learn.
I knew that I had to write my memoirs.
perfect supporting
I like being a supporting actress. I don't have to show up everyday. I was still writing the book, so it was the perfect thing. It may never be so perfect again,
life people trying
I have people in my life who will say, 'Honey, you're trying too hard.' I like being saucy, but I'm 73 and a half. I'm still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.
majority school
We need to get a majority on the school board,
available lead needed
Contraception is important. Making contraception available doesn't lead to promiscuity. But much more is needed than just contraception.
along came chance character funny gave outrageous quite script
The script came along and it was funny and it gave me the chance to play an outrageous character and I've never done anything before quite like her,
age lots people physically throw towel
The most important thing to do as you age is to stay physically active. Lots of people just throw in the towel if they can't do what they used to do, and that's terrible.
love possible
Real love and intimacy can be much more possible when you're older.
