In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.

There's nothing that can beat the feeling of doing a movie or a TV show that makes everyone feel good.

I don't know if I was a desirable person, not just physically but emotionally and mentally and intellectually. I still have a long way go and a lot to learn, but I'm on my way, I don't think I'm terribly attractive, but I'm comfortable with my looks.

I suppose I learned organization from Altman.

We live from day to day and get as much joy out of experiencing as we can.

I was traveling in Europe with Paul and suddenly realized my passport still said I was Mrs. Sampson.

For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his parents' house and we slept on pillows.

I'm not afraid of aging.

Bernard and I intend doing a lot with our lives and that includes actively helping other people. But how can we tell you our plans when we haven't finished making them yet?

I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.

Making it big in this world is such a rip-off, you gotta keep your head together or it can be totally without meaning.

Pigs are not that dirty. And they're smart, strange little creatures. They just need love.

But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.

And of course, now that Bernard and I have found each other forever, we're determined to create our own little world in order to survive the one we're in.

The world doesn't end just because one thing goes wrong.

I'm one of those people who thinks you can have a happy life and still be an artist.

But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.

Anyway, I went out and bought thousands of dollars worth of mature clothes so I'd look like a person to be taken seriously, instead of a pretty little twit.

Two months later at a party, Bernard pulled me into a closet and proposed. I said yes.

Somewhere along the line, Bob said I'd better begin taking this business seriously, because, whether I liked it or not, I had a career.

No matter what it is, pick yourself up and go on to the next project.

When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston.

Having been an actress before becoming a producer has helped, because I realize the needs.

You think he's going to like you better, but then one day you look in the mirror and realize you've changed yourself - physically and emotionally - into a woman who's totally different from the one he was attracted to the first place.

I like to pick my own vegetables.

In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.

Take events in your life seriously, take work seriously, but don't take yourself seriously, or you'll become affected, pompous and boring.

In school the kids thought I was freaky because I made straight A's and daydreamed a lot.

You don't direct ostriches, you herd them.

Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same.

Pigs are smart little creatures. They just need love.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.

What the hell difference does it make, left or right? There were good men lost on both sides.

A worker's paradise is a consumer's hell.

There's an inherent thing in me where, if things are going too smooth, I'll sabotage the hell out of them, just to make the music more of a sanctuary.

The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock?

I just had one of those "what the hell are we doing" moments.

Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.

Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell.

Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework.

As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape.

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.

How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

I would rather my soul broil in hell than I do you any harm.

In Hell all the messages you ever left on answering machines will be played back to you.

I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser.

I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
