I'm looking for a bunch of new tchotchkes that represent the new part of my life.
Don't think for one minute, whoever you are, that you're not important. You're so vitally important to stand up and be heard and do what it is you do.
I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.
I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.
I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
Like a jerk, I went to a nutritionist and I ate the most repulsive, awful things. I didn't allow myself to eat chocolate cake and french fries and cheeseburgers.
I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
I really like cable T.V.
I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.
There are some actors who are my contemporaries who I think of as purebreds and I'm not.
I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.
I would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren't taking it as seriously as I did.
If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any God-damned wars in the first place!
I am such a notorious hermit - almost pathological. And, I'm not a hoarder. But that's just a symptom of things that I do feel.
