I think that it's our time, ... We're interesting women, and we're not dead women, we're very much alive, we're very sexy and intelligent and vibrant. Hot flashes and all.

You cannot be the perfect wife, the perfect mother, and the perfect actor all at the same time.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

Being a grandmother is probably the most important thing to me. I have two really rambunctious little ones, and I love spending time with them.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.
