My true friends, and my son, see me with kind eyes. I feel it. So that's the freedom my children have given me. To be naked in the world with an open heart.

I love all my characters. I love their weaknesses and flaws. I feel like they're all my best friends and I adore being with them.

I can be completely spontaneous, which is absolutely wonderful. I don't like it at the same time; no one wants to be nervous all the time, but that nervousness mixes with the excitement I feel on the stage, and it makes for a wonderful performance.

You know that you're a true friend when somebody says "But what about that wart on the end of his nose?" and your honest response is "What wart?". You see true friends accept you for what you are, wart and all.

I was raised with my mother saying over and over again to me, “If your friends jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you follow them?” One time, I finally answered her, “yes, I would as a matter of fact.” It was then that I realized who my true friends were.

I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me because of the fact I haven't got any true friends! I'm fine the way I am.
