Life is too short to work so hard.

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.

I always know my lines.

I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

I've always been mad about cats.

I will not be ignored.

Things are simple when you're going to die.

I'm not young. What's wrong with that?

It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.

Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.

I'm not a film star; I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

People who are very beautiful make their own laws.

Most of us have compromised with life. Those who fight for what they want will always thrill us.

I guess when all is said and done, if there is one last commentary on me, I would want it to be said that I participated in my life. I was a full participant.

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them.

I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy and when I'm confounded.

I only put clothes on so that I'm not naked when I go out shopping.

The only time I've ever gone against my instincts, I've regretted it. It was only really one time.
