War's stupid. Nobody wins. You might as well talk first; you have to talk last anyway.

Superstition's not for me. And I'm not much for medicine either. I know my mind and my body better than anyone else.

Seeing the funny side of life is useful, and I've always had a sense of humour.

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.

I really cherish my time at home. As you know, I love my husband so much, but he's always doing everything for me out here to keep me rolling forward. But I don't get to do near enough for him. So when I'm at home, I like to cook for him and do some gardening - all that wife-y kinda stuff, you know?

My father has been an actor since 1964. Things were tight a lot of the times, financially. It wasn't like a big romantic adventure.

I married my best friend. I was still in awe after more than four years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and caring she was. And I really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret.
