Jane Seymour

“The family is inclusive of not just your genetic family, but the people that you meet along the way.”

“People say women shouldn't have long hair over a certain age, but I've never done what everyone says.”

“I don't let the children watch TV on weeknights. They practice playing musical instruments instead. Both my sons play piano, drums and guitar, so my husband and I listen to them in the evening.”

“I don't waste any time at all. I have no time at all for people who are being very negative or people who are very whiny or people who feel sorry for themselves. I tend to go to them and just say, you don't understand how incredible life is and how precious it is.”

“I'm not involved in the politics of religion, but I love what the message is.”

“Every once in a while I go off to do a movie or a television series and I take my art with me. I can stay in character when I paint.”

“I love doing comedy. Absolutely love it. After 'Wedding Crashers,' people suddenly realized that it was something I could do.”

“It's interesting because a lot of my 16-year-old kids' friends know me from 'Wedding Crashers,' and not so much Bond. My kids have a good laugh. I was 20 then. The look I had then was the look that a lot of their friends are assuming now. They think it's cool. What goes around comes around.”

“I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.”

“I danced with the London Festival at Covent Garden. I'm a ballerina by trade; I'm a ballerina who sings by the way.”

“When I was growing up, my mother, who had been through a lot of terrible things in life, taught me that when life is tough your instinct is to close your heart. But if you can accept what happened and reach out to someone, there will always be someone less fortunate, or someone that can bring a solution and help your life.”

“When I started painting 17 years ago, I never imagined that anyone would look at my work or buy my pieces. But now I do about 14 exhibitions each year.”

“I had ordered long legs, but they never arrived. My eyes are weird too, one is gray and the other is green. I have a crooked smile and my nose looks like a ski slope. No, I would not win a Miss contest.”

“I really love the independent movies and I just think that sometimes when they throw a lot of money into it and a lot of special effects and a lot of stunts that you lose the connection, the human connection and I personally love movies that are about the human connection.”

“At the end of the day, I let myself have a glass of wine.”
