“You don’t move just because you want to go from this point to that point – the body has to be using the words as well as you vocally use the words.”

I stayed on my own path and did not follow the herd. I made a way for myself.

I don’t think I ever really got interested in theater.

This is where you see the truth of entertainment, because it is not edited. You see it on stage as it is happening. Even if we fall down or forget our words, it’s a part of live entertainment.

You don’t have to hit anybody on the head to be sexy.

I don’t wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I’m asked, I will answer honestly.

I never take anything for granted. I may slip any minute.

I love men and I like to get their attention.

I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

I’ve always been multi-cultural myself. I’m not black and I’m not white and I’m not pink and I’m not green. Eartha Kitt has no color, and that is how barriers are broken.

I love to tease men with my legs.

I punish myself more than anybody else does if I am stupid about my actions, and I suffer, really suffer.

Live theater to me is much more free than the movies or television.

I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut.

The audience has always been my best director.

If you’re looking for immediate rewards, you’re only looking for the money.

I was an illegitimate, well, I still am an illegitimate child.

I can walk. It’s just that I’m so rich I don’t need to.

I just try and learn to be a good husband and be a good father before I am a good rock star. That means saying no to certain things that go with the business.

While making art you should just do what is in your heart.

Books generally just confirm you in what you have, perhaps unwittingly, decided to do already.

I’d been depressed before, of course. But I’m talking about really depressed. Not just feeling a bit down or sad, a depression that has something to do with biorhythms. I’m talking about the kind of depressed that floats in upon you like a fog.

Some things are just really difficult to do. That’s what I find hard. I usually can find a way to do a character to make it real and work. But sometimes it’s a struggle sustaining that, because there’s such a level of personal involvement and personal, physical, and emotional distraughtness.

Whenever you wonder about yourself, look up at the stars swirling around in the heavens and just realize how tiny and puny they are.

We might just as well let the rest of it go, join the party, and dance our hearts out.
