We've become such a multitasking society that just paying attention to the road doesn't seem to be that important anymore. I have to remind my kids all the time that that's what you're supposed to be doing in the car.
I think yoga has given me better posture. People don't realise how strong it makes you. You have to use your body weight to hold yourself. As you get older, you're supposed to lift weights, but I find that kind of boring. Yoga is lifting my own body.
Of course I have TIME underneath my belt. It would be a shame to put that to waste. It's bizarre. Who came up with this concept. What happened? When did this happen. We are supposed to be liberated and it seems like we've declined. Someone told me that Mae West did not start her acting career until she turned 40.
In 1984, I starred in 'Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan,' my first movie. My lines ended up being dubbed by Glenn Close, supposedly because my accent was 'too southern'. It was completely humiliating at the time. I became a laughing stock. I'm amazed that I managed to pick myself up and dust myself off.
I think a lot of times people who jump from one movie to another don't enjoy their private life. It's a great way to escape reality. But I enjoy my life.
My children haven't even seen most of my movies.
My mother and grandmother both had beautiful skin.
I still love finding the soul of the characters I play and defining who they are. This to me is my paint set, and the colors are always exciting to choose.
There are lots of great actresses who are great because they'll do anything.
I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love, but they have to trust that inner voice, and I think it is there. I think we are more intuitive than men.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. It's all about being healthy for me now.
I love the idea of living a life that is completely humble and quiet.
My favourite thing is to be somebody else, no longer be me.
