adventure artist parent
My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.
thinking arrogance good-movie
Here's what I had: I had the arrogance of saying I'd like to be in a 'good' movie, so in fact, when I was hot, I turned down a lot of stuff because I didn't think I wanted to watch it.
stupid careers house
When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
blow perfect actors
In film, there's so many little things where not just the actor can blow his lines, but technically, it doesn't quite come off in the perfect way envisioned.
animal levels cruelty
I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
drama people enjoy
I don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.
drama priorities quality
The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.
animal compassion race
I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.
animal two equal
I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
yoga
I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
yoga thinking careers
I was really involved with other people's opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don't have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It's not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that.
grateful looks pieces
I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.
baby media shining
If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.
kind intense kinds-of-love
There are so many kinds of love, and they're all very intense for me.
