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.

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

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 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.

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

I was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we're still paying for it.
