Do I get up every morning and ask: am I doing the things that I believe in and am I doing them for the best possible motives? Yes. Unambiguously yes.
I'll probably not be the best actor in Hollywood, and I am okay with that. But I will be the hardest working one, and I'll be the one that people like to work with because I show up on time, and I don't complain.
My roles in the '80s were, like, gender dysphoric. I wasn't pretty, I wasn't this, I wasn't that. And I am kind of butchy, you know. That's just my thing.
I am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.
I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don't think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.
I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words. I scatter them ... in time, and space. A message to lead myself here.
If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO?
I recognize that I'm human, and the older I get, the more I realize how fallible I am, how fallible we all are.
I say what I mean. I don't speak in code. That's why I am a star and ace communicator.
If I am to be remembered for anything I have done in this profession, I would like it to be for the four films in which I directed Spencer Tracy.
I feel like every project I work on is a dream project, so long as I am learning.
I am a season ticket holder to Dodger games. I go to every Dodger game I can go to. Every single one.
I prefer my body after I've had kids to before. I like a womanly, shapely figure. I'm more secure as a woman. I know who I am.
I am a prince I have it all, and I hear your foot steps on the wall, I wait in silence for your call, and take a shot and watch you fall.
If I am taking a job, I really want to do it 100% on a daily basis, and that's not what I can do right now.
That is why I don't believe much in what Mr. Descartes said: "I think, therefore I am." I think, therefore I'm lost in my thinking. I'm not there.
By seeing how small the world is, I realize how capable I am. I can conquer anything. Anywhere. Anyone.
With each book, in each place, I have to keep an ongoing map as I write because otherwise I don't know where I am.
I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.
My hubby is such a sneaker king... and I am a stiletto queen! He always wants to see me in sneakers, but I believe I can do anything in heels.
If I hadn't lost my hearing, I wouldn't be where I am now. It forced me to maximize my own potential. I have to be better than the average person to succeed.
