If somebody wants to think of me as a movie star, that's fine, that's great. It sort of makes me giggle.

I loved growing up in a little town. I loved knowing people. I loved going to the store and running into people. I loved going into the store and having forgotten my bag, saying, 'Charge it, put it on my bill.' I loved going to the gas station and saying, 'Pete, fill it up.' I loved that continuity of life.

What's normal? I think I'm normal... Maybe I'm abnormal because I get such a thrill from real life, just real life, everyday things.

If you live only a movie-star life, you know only movie-star things. I needed to live a regular life with normal people around.

The business has been good to me.

I'm not paralyzed with fear, but I realize it is important to live as if there's no tomorrow, always trying to maintain your integrity and have no regrets.

I think the thread running through most midwives is the passion.

I've been into exercise my whole life, been a runner and been into health and fitness always.

You get angry and frustrated wondering, 'Are there enough parts for women?'

I've done some of my best work in films that fell right through the cracks, so I try to not make career moves but to build a body of work.
