- 'My father suggested I became an opera singer but I thought it was highly unglamorous. Then it became apparent to me that acting combined all my artistic interests and was the perfect outlet for my creative expression. Of course the alternative would've been to become a lawyer, since I love winning arguments.' On why she became an actress.
- Success to me, is knowing that I've done my best in everything I've set out to achieve. I don't measure success in trophies. And in reality the ultimate success is achieving fulfillment and joy in whatever we think and do and be at peace with ourselves. Now there's a task!
- The main difference between acting and directing is that as a director you have to create and re-live every single character's life. As an actor you're only responsible for your own character. I guess that's why I love directing. It helps me understand human nature on a much wider scope and prevents me from being self centered.
- I would like to be remembered as someone who managed to contribute the slightest difference in the world, even if that difference was manifested in my cooking.
- The only diet I do is falling in love. Somehow it always works!
