Everyone should have a moment with Ron Howard in their life to give you faith in our industry.

So I have this ability, if I may say so, to spot talent.

With my ministry of light, part of what I do is work on the California Alliance For Arts Education.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

She was a genius, my mother.

Probably what my comment meant was that I don't care about the circumstances if I can tell the truth.

Our church has been legal since late 1960s. I've been involved since 1972. I was ordained in 1975.

My favorite actresses were Geraldine Paige, Anne Bancroft and Kim Stanley.

In Europe you can be Sophia, you can be these older women who are considered very sexy.

My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.

My point is that, over the years, I've taught five thousand people acting and lately I have a lot of energy on these kids, having the same break I had as a high school girl.
