After doing so many different roles, if you don't stretch yourself, there's no excitement left.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn’t want money. I didn’t care about fame.

I demanded two weeks of rehearsal because to me as an actor, that’s the most important time.

I don’t want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I’m not interested.

When I’m not working, my time is really about my children.

Each time I get off a plane in Hollywood, I don’t think I’m pretty enough.

I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don’t think the film industry is any different.

My heart’s in really great shape thanks to spinning classes.

I’m more proud of quitting smoking than of anything else I’ve done in my life, including winning an Oscar.

I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.
