I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career... I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

I kind of look at my modeling career and the Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.

Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.

If people could be as honest as animals, what a different world it would be.

I'd like to walk into a room sometime and be introduced as the author of something other than that play. There's always one thing in a career that has more impact than anything else. In my case, 'The Subject Was Roses' was that thing.

I firmly believe that everyone should have to work in the food service industry at least once in their lives.

That's such a thrill - a story I wrote at the beginning of my career, and it's still packin' the house.

I felt so conflicted about having fled the rez as a kid that I created a whole literary career that left me there.
