I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.

I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.

It was during a cosmetic procedure that I first had painkillers.

My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.

Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.

So, am I friendly with my daughter and her friends? Yes. Am I their friend? No. Does she shut the door? Yes, and I very much support the shut door.

The parameters are such that I don't get offered a lot of work. I'm sure most directors hear my list of don'ts and say forget it.

Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.

If you look at how long the Earth has been here, we're living in the blink of an eye. So, whatever it is you want to do, you go out and do it.

I wish I could take what I'm feeling right now and put it in the water system, and we would all love each other.

Every single thing in my life is built around race.

I had that upbringing. Of watching 'Bonanza,' watching 'Hee Haw,' which both black and white would watch. I rode horses. I did gun spinning as a kid. I do these things.

I've been a sports fan all my life, and like most other actors, I'm convinced I could have been a pro athlete if Hollywood hadn't come calling.

"Man has always assumed that his is the highest form of life in the universe. There is, of course, nothing at all with which to sustain this view."

"Her own mother lived the latter years of her life in the horrible suspicion that electricity was dripping invisibly all over the house."

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

"Walter Mitty: To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

"I'm very unstable; there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from."

"If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things."

"Thought is the fount of action, life, and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure."

"The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state...Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are."

"I'm tired of fighting. I've always known that I can't be an action star all my life."

"I don't want to be an action star; action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer."

"Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well."
