Purged of both hope and fear we find courage in the face of helplessness insignificance and uncertainty.

1 Age

  • 1. About the time I turned 50 I experienced the profound biological change that often accompanies women at that age. Also I put two kids in college and lost both of my parents so I'm no longer somebody's daughter.
  • 2. Because of my age and because there's more work on the small screen. What it's missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor's selfish point of view.
  • 3. The surest sign of age is loneliness.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I started crying the other day just thinking that the baby is going to leave me soon! You have this relationship with this person in your belly and it's really amazing.
  • 2. Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear.
  • 3. It's the degree of success and the length of time that is amazing.

3 Anger

  • 2. Fear is the only true enemy born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate.
  • 3. My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior but should be based on the facts.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.
  • 2. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 3. Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
  • 2. I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it so I signed up for acting instead.
  • 3. I believe very strongly and have fought since many years ago – at least over 30 years ago – to get architecture not just within schools but architecture talked about under history geography science technology art.
