“Parents are supposed to give the child back to herself with love. If they've got duct tape over their eyes because of narcissism, it doesn't happen.”

“The only thing I have never known is true intimacy with a man. I absolutely wanted to discover that before dying.”

“I always had a penchant for falling in love. Every time I found myself without a mate, I fell into a state of low-sizzling panic.”

“We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2,000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.”

“Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.”

“I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.”

“It's about time we make the well-being of our young people more important than ideology and politics. As a country, we benefit from investing in their future by investing in teen pregnancy prevention.”

“You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.”

“My love life is wonderful.”

“A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.”

“My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath,' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day.”

“I've done four videos for older people under my new brand, Prime Time, and the missing link was yoga. I'm aiming it for older people - people who have never worked out or who are recovering from a surgery and have to start slow. It's easy, you can't get hurt, it's very doable, and I've done it in ten-minute segments.”

“In my marriages, I'd lost parts of who I was because I was trying to mold myself into what I thought a man wanted me to be.”

“I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.”

“I was raised in the '50s. I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered, frankly.”

“I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.”

“I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them - active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular - to try and end the war.”
