I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth.
It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'
All cities do face similar, significant trends in the future... most importantly global warming and climate change.
Of course one worries about getting older - we're all fearful of death, let's not kid ourselves. I'm simply not panicking as my laugh lines grow deeper. Who wants a face with no history, no sense of humor?
I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children, and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.

My husband keeps me really honest.
You have to surrender less when you see a film than when you go and see something live.
