crazy thinking layers
I think I have a lot of crazy layers.
real hard-work toes
Whether you're on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can't settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.
night discipline theatre
You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.
children giving world
I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.
children future generations
We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.
thinking being-there film
I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.
actresses cameras film
Film has always been hard for me, I'm basically a stage actress. I never felt comfortable in front of the camera.
profound important acting
Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.
children air grandparent
Just look at my face. Its an extraordinary experience. All of my friends who are grandparents have been saying, just wait, a bit cynically, but its just extraordinary. You feel like a child again yourself. Just walking on air.
voice littles matter
Onstage or in films, you do affect peoples' lives, and sometimes that's very gratifying. But still, there's this little voice that says you should be doing something that matters.
rocks towns rock-n-roll
I'm mostly a jazz fan and I've never really been into rock 'n' roll music — although I guess Coldplay isn't really rock 'n' roll — but he's made me a convert. I do go to their concerts whenever we're in the same town and I don't even have to wear earplugs any more, which I did in the beginning.
meaningful ifs i-can
Part of me says that no life will work if I can't make this one right.
stuff digging theory
My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.
school play acting
It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.
