Watching movies was like going to school for me. It still is. You're always learning. Even if it's bad, you're learning what not to do.

Our planet is dying. Whales will be extinct before we ever get to know them. They say these creatures are so intelligent. They may disappear from the face of the Earth before we know them, and that is a great tragedy.

I'm a movie buff. My mom would take me to a double feature. We'd come out, go have Chinese food, and then go back into another cinema and see another double feature. I feel I'm a child of the movies.

It's never too late to go out and get that feeling back.

When someone is suffering, you have to see this in the body and the face. I say all the time that actors use their bodies like objects of war.

When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.
