“The art of loving one of my favourite books by Eric From, and it was one of the books that I read when I was feeling sad and down and depressed, and I realized that love is really where everything comes from, and that when I would be feeling sad or lonely on the island, that I would be able to take a book like that, and it would remind me of the depth of my spirit and soul.”

“Yeah, I do climb trees, but I can't climb them unless they have little knots on them, but there are other ways that you can climb a tree. That would have to be something in my suitcase, but then I don't know if I'd bring a suitcase, I don't know, I don't even know if I'd wear clothes”

“Oh, I would probably draw things in the sand, I would dream, I'd probably look up to the sky, I might learn to climb trees better than I do today. You still climb.”

“Yeah, I'd be alone. Alone is good. We shouldn't be afraid of being alone. When we're alone we really can hear our own heartbeat.”

“It was a great, great time, lots of fun. You know I'm not looking to do this. I mean, I've spent ten years of my life producing and working with neuroscientists and positive psychologists and educators and political people who are out there trying to change things. I found this the most stimulating, interesting time of my life. You know, I've been acting for many, many years. I don't say that if a great role came up and it would really be fun that I wouldn't want to do it, but frankly there aren't that many good roles that come up that I would say I would love to do.”

“The Gypsy Kings Volare I was actually in Majorca, was with my girlfriends. I said, well, let's go down to this bar and as we opened the door it was like a movie. There were the Gypsy King singing Volare. I thought I would lose my mind.”

“It really is very, very hard. You have to stay extremely mindful of where you are and the insular atmosphere that you're living in. And it isn't the real world. And I was definitely not interested in an actor. And Kurt felt the same way. And he said I will never be with another actress. And there you are. Boom. It's like he said the other day. He said, I promise I would never do this to myself. I was with my dad that night, and I said to Dad, last thing I will be doing is going with an actress. He says, and the next day I go and I meet Goldie on. And he went whoop, he said, so you never know.”

“I remembered him, I thought he was adorable, but he was much too young, and then years later I saw him on this show and we ended up meeting knowing a lot of the same people and remembering back of the oh my God, that was you on that show. I can't believe it. And I liked him. I remember that I liked him very much when I first met him.”

“I don't know about the date, but I will say that it was a double edged sword in terms of my business, because that kind of success for a woman, particularly who, you know, wasn't the serious one, right? She was the one who did the comedies and so forth. A woman with opinion doesn't work too well often. It still doesn't.”

“It was, it was a very, very productive experience. The film itself was great fun to do. The characters I thought were amazing. It was funny. But then again, like everything else, you know, we'd get the first edit and there weren't as many laughs and that as there should have been. So there was a lot of rolling up sleeves and making this work like anything, you know? But it was great fun doing it.”

“He was tricky. He was very temperamental, he was nervous, he was also a joy. I remember one time we went to see the baboons in his wonderful car, I think it was a rolls or something, and it was at the park where he And a zoo park. And he just had the best time watching their bones jump on the hood of his car. And it was so amazing for me and so wonderful and yet so crazy I'm in the circus now with Peter.”

“This is one of my favourite pieces from a movie theme out of Africa. I love this piece, and I think this is one of the most extraordinary. Success stories of putting the right sound the right melody, the right instrumentation to the images of the vast and beautiful Africa.”

“I don't think I had any choice. It was at that point in time I was at number one too young and I wasn't going to quit. I couldn't at twenty six weeks of this show and then after that I thought I would go back to dancing but that's when laughing came. So it was just it was all meant to be and I look at it like that and I really honor it.”

“I learned that actually the core of my being and my joy and happiness which I thought I had lost actually was there always there and will always be there for the taking. I learned that it was me and the driver's seat. I realized that it was really all came from me in my decision making. So I think it was an incredibly important time in my life.”

“I saw doctor I went immediately when I had these sort of panic attacks. I went, what is this? Why is my heart racing? Why am I feeling like this? Why I just felt so frightened and I didn't know what was going on with me. And so I saw a psychologist. He was Freudian, and he would have me lie down on the couch and free associate. Well, what's so fascinating about that is when you free associate, you say whatever comes to your mind. And you begin to see what your mind is thinking.”

“I was pulled out of the chorus line too soon. I didn't want to do anything else. I was so excited to be there, I was away from home, and I think I thought that the trajectory of my life was going to be dancing and doing all that stuff. Maybe I'd get a commercial or two to make more money, but I never believed I was going to be a star. I always thought I was going to go home and be near my mom and dad and get married and live in with a white picket fence. And so my projections of my life really turned differently. And then I started being asked for autographs and nobody really knew me because I was doing this TV show, so clearly people were trying to get an autograph before they even seen me on the show. I was very confused and I started to get down. It wasn't the world that I wanted, it was fearful. I was fearful. I didn't know what was going to happen. As if not something I ever aspired to was to become well known or to be a star, ever.”

“They were fantastic couldn't have been more fun. I mean, my mom was so funny she'd forget her lines and then finally she'd say you do them. I said that can't, mom, they're your lines. Like you knew them, you drive the car Oh my God, and my father was on stage with me in Vegas we danced I danced and he did the fiddle and we had lines then and then he did a TV special and he had lines on that with me so love being with my mom and dad and had a great time with them”

“He definitely was a break, no question. I was taken out of the chorus line to see if I could meet this agent, and then the agent ended up signing me from William Morris, and the next thing I knew, I had a job on television acting. It was not laughing. It was a twenty six. promised TV series, and I was the girl next door. And they wrote in this part for me, which I was surprised because when I auditioned I auditioned for a role I was much too young for. So the whole thing was a big shocker.”

“And Google bars. Go, go, go. Yeah. That was hard, you know, I mean cages and stuff like that, but it was the time, you know, so it wasn't like so awful. You look back on it now and you think, oh, look. You know what were you doing? But it was fine then. I mean, that was what you would do to make a living, you know?”

“I was nineteen It was just to get this dancing job, you know, and that's when I auditioned. I actually was in business from seventeen to eighteen. I had a dancing school and I taught children dancing from age three all the way up to twelve and I went all around Washington DC in these different recreation centers So I was a very, very entrepreneurial young lady at that point. How interesting. And then I was also taking class and dancing, and I also went to the American University. I would carry jars of honey around in my car to make sure I had the energy to take class after I dumped on everything else. The idea was that I got to running audition and become a professional dancer in New York City, and that was a goal, and I think we knew that from the beginning, that's where I was going”

“Will you do forget, but you are in shape, you know, you have to be prepped. It's like any kind of sports. You know, you've got to practice. You've got to work. You've got to get your body strong. When your body is strong, when you're in your power, and you now have music, and you are one with the sound and your body and your brain is all working together. And you're flying through the air and you're turning and you're working. I just can't even express to you the joy that you feel when you're in that place right there.”

“I did, I knew him. He was an extraordinary guy. He was very powerful, very interesting. He had a lot of people around him that were also interesting. I remember Jilly was somebody who was his best friend, and I met Jilly because his bar was next to where I lived in New York City on fifty second and eighth Avenue, which is hilarious. But Frank was very loving and also could be very tough. But what a talent.”

“Yes, and I would come home sometimes to an empty house, but that was something, especially when my sister left. It was lonely sometimes, it was really lonely.

“My mother was ah my God, she was sort of the life of the party. She was very beautiful. She looked like Loretta Young, she was quite something, and very sought after by the young men when she was younger, but she was an incredibly hard worker. We had stores, so she had the gift shop, and she ran the gift shop. Her work ethic was extraordinary for her.”

“Yes, he really did. I mean, there's nobody like my dad. I mean, he had a strange and wonderful sense of humor. He was very creative person. He used to go and take a metal detector and find all these things like railroad ties and stuff, and he would make music out of them. And I have a picture of him to always remember my dad the way he was. It was Valentine's Day and my mom had gotten him a pair of box cynderpants with hearts on them, and he put them on his head, and picked up his violin and started playing, and my mother was standing there looking at him like you are out of your mind and I had this picture of you. It has little ears sticking out behind his underpants. My father was a real crack up.”

“I had to faint, and every time I'd fainted somebody laughed and I thought, well, gee, that I didn't really say anything, but I guess that was funny. It was physically funny. Maybe it was the timing. And then the most interesting piece was when I did Romeo and Juliet. I was seventeen years old, and I just put my head in my hand. And three thousand people started laughing. I thought I'd made the biggest mistake of all because I was doing a Shakespearean tragedy and here people are laughing at this gesture that I did.”

“Absolutely, I think we need to take a look at the systemic reasons why our children are showing these kinds of symptoms, depression, suicide, dropping out of school. Are they really having a childhood? Are we giving them free time? Are we playing with them? Is there enough joy in their life? These things are extremely human, and they're important just as important to nourish as academia.”

“It was wild. I had just met them at that time. I'm sure there must have been lots of drugs going on which I did not see at that time, I have to say.

I mean, how did I get here?”

It reminds me of the time in my life that I was just, you know, full of concert going and I remember the night that I was backstage with them and we had such a great time.
