Every one of us gets to find our way, hopefully surrounded by love, but we still have to pick out our own way through the land mines of life. By accepting this and relinquishing control, there's just extraordinary beauty.
Looking at beautiful things is what makes me the happiest.
I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.
I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.
I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.
I think that I was lucky that I was 30 when I did 'Love Story', which came with this extravagant pop celebrity. I had already done 15 years of what I call 'real' work.' I was a waitress, chambermaid, and a photographer's assistant, so I knew that I was tremendously lucky as a novice actor to have that big hit.
I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.
Cruelty to animals can become violence to humans.
I think something will soon have to be done to protect people from hacking and blogging and lying and spreading rumors and chasing you down the street. Lives are wrecked that way.
I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.
There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.
I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.
Here's what I had: I had the arrogance of saying I'd like to be in a 'good' movie, so in fact, when I was hot, I turned down a lot of stuff because I didn't think I wanted to watch it.
I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.
I'm much more famous than I am rich, but I'm able to scale back my lifestyle. I know a lot of people who were where I was who can't imagine living any simpler, but I haven't got a lot of expensive wants.
My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.
When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
It's been my experience that the longer I do yoga, the more I want to know, the more I am able to understand and the less judgmental I am.
The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.
You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
If you want to be watched 24 hours a day in everything you do, you can't turn that around. You can't wake up three years later and say, 'Stop bothering me, I'm a serious actor,' if all you've done is wear certain clothes and show up half-loaded at clubs.
People tell me that I am well-grounded. I am sane in the New England sense of the word.
There are so many kinds of love, and they're all very intense for me.
