I didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.
I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!
Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. 'Oh, I'm just a mom,' you hear women say. 'Just' a mom? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, it's our hope for the future.
But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
All people want on this earth is to connect with others. Other than eating and sleeping. Human beings need to connect with other human beings. Otherwise, they lose their mind.
You like me, You really like me!!!
My agent said, 'You aren't good enough for movies.' I said, 'You're fired.
I had to let my ego go a long time ago.
I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
I've had such an odd career.
Last year I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.
When you have kept yourself isolated, no one relates to you, you have no way of understanding actually who you are.
I've done some good work and some not-good work.
You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.
