Actress

Probably what my comment meant was that I don't care about the circumstances if I can tell the truth.

I think that souls agree to come in and do what they're going to do and then leave when they're going to leave. So there's nothing tragic when a soul leaves. I think it was already preordained.

I think I'm more European in personality.

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

The only thing that I could think of to do was to be an actress.

So I have this ability, if I may say so, to spot talent.

My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

I always told, Sandra Bullock was my student when she was younger, I always told her it's important that we hold on to our insecurity, the wisdom of insecurity.

She was a genius, my mother.

I have some great stories and I will get around to writing a book.

My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.

My point is that, over the years, I've taught five thousand people acting and lately I have a lot of energy on these kids, having the same break I had as a high school girl.

I have married thriteen couples. I'm about to do a marriage next month.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.

With my ministry of light, part of what I do is work on the California Alliance For Arts Education.

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.

I made a conscious decision back then that I would rather be the best actress who ever lived than the most famous one.

My favorite actresses were Geraldine Paige, Anne Bancroft and Kim Stanley.

Our church has been legal since late 1960s. I've been involved since 1972. I was ordained in 1975.
