Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Never say never but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
  • 2. My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald's commercial.
  • 3. In Hollywood you play a mom and the next thing you know you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.
  • 2. I love a beautiful gown on stage and luckily I've been fortunate to wear some amazing dresses.
  • 3. I will always be the way I was a couple years ago before anything happened. And that's to my parents' credit my amazing parents who have been around me my whole life and raised me right. I'm very happy with what has happened so far.

3 Anger

  • 1. When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.
  • 2. I've always turned my anger inwards towards self-destruction.
  • 3. I think people should be angry at things that are worthy of anger. Injustice is outrageous and deserves outrage.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. And currently there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics Australian Federation my 50th Birthday and Sydney Dance Company's 25th Anniversary.
  • 3. You will reciprocally promise love loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today before God you formulate.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The building of the architecture of a novel – the craft of it – is something I never tire of.
  • 2. Of course I know very little about architecture and the older I get the less I know.
  • 3. In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.
