I don't waste any time at all. I have no time at all for people who are being very negative or people who are very whiny or people who feel sorry for themselves. I tend to go to them and just say, you don't understand how incredible life is and how precious it is.
I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.
My mother lived in Holland, and during World War II was incarcerated in a Japanese camp for three years.
Get over jet-lag quickly. I think a lot of people waste the first few days sleeping in the wrong time zone. Sometimes I take melatonin but at other times a glass of wine will do it.
Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.
When I was younger, I remember thinking, 'I have to pass this mark' or 'I have to get this role' or 'I have to do this or that' and then that will mean I have accomplished something. But life is actually all about the process and not about the goals.
At the end of the day, I let myself have a glass of wine.
I just did a film in which I had to be a dancer and I was able to do all kinds of extraordinary things. A lot of people turn 50 and talk about what they're not going to do anymore. I embarked on something that I'd wanted to do when I was 5.
My father always told me, you can only be your own best. In other words, if you feel you've done your best, you've done well enough.
I definitely believe in a God and in a higher power, and I definitely take from many different religious cultures. I go to church.
I'm not involved in the politics of religion, but I love what the message is.
If somebody believes that a certain practice will get them to heaven, and then other people believe a different way of doing it, I think it's their choice.
I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It's not about a production number, it's about a meaningful moment between two people that's witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about.
I find it interesting that 16-year-olds are having plastic surgery. People in their 40s used to think, 'I'm aging, I have to do something about it.' Now children are deciding they don't like the way they look.
'Dr. Quinn' came along when I turned 40, so my career actually peaked then.
My Bond character was meant to look like a virgin. I don't think they do that very often.
When I'm in the U.K. I can't resist Maltesers and Twiglets - the evil combination. Luckily, I live in the U.S. so can't get them easily, which is probably a good thing.
I'm proud of my wrinkles. They give my face character. As an actress, you mess with that at your peril.
What I know now is that we're all interconnected and that's a really beautiful thing. We have links to everyone else in our lives and in the world. Different people have different journeys for different reasons. You can't judge, but you can celebrate that there are connections everywhere.
When I was growing up, my mother, who had been through a lot of terrible things in life, taught me that when life is tough your instinct is to close your heart. But if you can accept what happened and reach out to someone, there will always be someone less fortunate, or someone that can bring a solution and help your life.
