Valter, too many questions for me to answer right now. I had a crush on Tony. On Marlon too. xx

Ellen, let your daughter know that it tkes a lot of hard work and study to become a good actor. She should find a good teacher when the time comes.

Peggy, I just now saw this from you. I have not looked at my blog comments for awhile (been out of the country) which is why I haven’t responded and I guess my tardiness is what prompted your comment of 5/12. So, […]

Peggie, I am unaware that there is some editing going on in my social media. I have always welcomed differing opinions. I will look into this. x

Hasani, where do you live? xx Jane

Thanks, Lynn. FYI, I dropped out of Vassar at the end of sophomore year. Keep up the activism. We need every body. xxx

Thanks, Dona. So happy you liked it and thanks for your honesty xx

Melissa, (1) Brando intimidated me; (2) stand up to your fears or you’ll get soggy; (3) I loved Carol. i also loved “Blue is the Warmest Color” and can’t wait to see “Disobedience”

Dear Georgia, I’m so glad you’re being strong and getting that medical help with anxiety and depression. There should be no stigma to any of that. It is a chemical issue, a hormonal issue and not a reflection on […]

Candita, BOOK CLUB is seriously funny and poignant as well. Let me know what you think. xx

This makes me very hppy, Daniel. Isn’t Upaya a wondrous place and Roshi Joan wise beyond words. I love her book. Namaste

Sofia, Thank you so much for your words. It makes me happy to know I’ve made a difference for you. This is really me writing to say I read your comment from Greece. xxx

Good for you, Dona. This is great. We MUST do all we can to at the very least take back the House in November. I’m spending most of my time from when we wrap Grace & FRankie in June till Nov traveling, raising […]

Dona, I will try to get you her name. Please help me remember. Here’s what’s funny: she’s become so popular that the show can barely afford her any more. Isn’t that great?!

Norrie, Go FIRST NATIONS. You have much to teach the rest of us. xx

Shawne, Thanks for your nice comments. When something scares me I tend to embrace it full-heartedly and that’s what I did in those scenes when I had to look bad. I’ve posted pictures of me looking bad–having just […]

Sienna, thanks for asking. Here is what I recommend: Everything by Ta-Nehisi Coates, “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander, “Barracoon: The Story of the Last ‘Black Cargo’ by Zora Neale Hurston. As you read the […]

Margaret, I’ve had a hip and knee replacement (and having another hip done in Nov.) Several years ago I made a new series of workouts for older people. the new brand is PRIME TIME I like them a lot. You can […]

Jackie, can you tell me more? I’m not 100% sure I follow your meaning. I want to. Of course there are things I wish I could do over: I wish I’d been a better parent. I wish I hadn’t sat on that gun site in North […]

Daniel, I think about Santa Fe all the time and of Roshi Joan. I just read her ne3w book, “Standing at the Edge.” Beautiful. I will go back soon I hope. Maybe for the Rohatsu. Did you read my chapter “The Work In” […]
