We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.

My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other’s houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

I like to get dark sometimes and then come back out into the light.

When I tell people I spent almost a year in Paris, I know they imagine something out of a Woody Allen movie, which it wasn’t, of course. I was just working in a clothes shop, but I was aware that it was exciting.

We have hearts that are capable of experiencing great love, but sometimes they get broken.

Sometimes she wished for someone she could tell about her problems, just to be able to say, ‘I’m in love with a man and I can’t have him.’ But that would only lead to questions she couldn’t answer, so she kept the secret and the pain inside, hoping someday she would no longer feel as if half of her were missing.

We can cry for years but sometimes gotta smile too.
