“All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you're actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else.

“Feminism has nothing at all to do with being 'feminine.' Feminine means accentuating the womanly attributes that make women deliciously different from men.

She knows she is a person with her own identity and that she can seek fulfillment in the career of her choice, including that of traditional wife and mother.”

“A very good career choice would be to gravitate toward those activities and to embrace those desires that harmonize with your core intentions, which are freedom and growth - and joy.

When feeling happy is of paramount importance to you - and what you do 'for a living' makes you happy - you have found the best of all combinations.”
