Peter Sellers was great to work with. A lovely man. A little bit crazy in that he - you know, as I say, it was hard. It was sort of balancing a very delicate spirit on a needle. You know, because you never know where he was going

When you're young, you start looking at what you want to do - not just who you want to be, but what you want to do. And I think the tenacity to say, I'm going to perfect that, is the beginning of a work ethic. It's the beginning of a talent.

The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth.

I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to deny the fact that I love to be with men.

You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.

I believe you have to start with a craft you don't just start with a dream. You've got to put a lot of work in. If you want to pursue acting, then you go to acting class. If you want to be a dancer, then you learn to dance, which is what I did.

The key is to figure out what you want out of life, not what you want out of your career.
Goldie Hawn

Letting go of someone we love is the hardest thing we will ever do. Some people never surrender to love for the fear of being hurt. But to not have loved, to not have felt the immense joy it brings, would have been a far worse kind of death.

I think what we can do is to develop this incredible computer that we have on our heads, because it's endless. It's just the most brilliant thing we have to develop, and know that we have the power over all of it.

The beauty of getting older is the surprise of what else you can do to make the world a better place with the wisdom that you've accrued over those years.

When 9/11 happened, the world, certainly in the United States of America, there was a unity. There was this sense of unity. And I have to say just from a personal level, it really felt good. We all felt the same way.
