Helen Hayes

The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.

Stardom can be a gilded slavery.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

This is an elegant hotel! Room service has an unlisted number.
