“It is sad that we have to be defined in such a limited way. I am a woman, I am a mother, I am a daughter - and I am an actress. I am not just one of those things.”

“It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.”

“Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.”

“Choice is a divine teacher, for when we choose, we learn.”

“You must be very gentle with yourself.”

“You cannot live a non-political life. Everything you do is political.”

“When you have a child, you are not a child anymore.”

“Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the things I have done, but from the things I have not.”

“When you know you can do something, and you feel good about yourself, you do not have to dream anymore.”

“A belief is a passion.”

“Hope is a passion for the possible.”

“We must be able to love other people or forever be locked in regret.”

“Choice is the greatest power we have. If we choose to be responsible, we can make a difference.”

“I think it's important that we are curious about life and people.”

“I believe that in a way, sadness is happiness for there can be no wrong without right, no light without dark.”

“We have to be a little bit foolish to be wise.”

“I'm not a political person in the sense that I belong to a political party. I'm a political person in the sense that I think we are all responsible for the state of the world.”

“Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.”

“Regret is a waste of time.”
