Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.
Theater is all about the rehearsal process. In fact, I think a lot of times opening night there's a mixed sadness because you're finished with a lot of people's favorite part of the process, which is finding the character and discovering it, and then you get to live it.
But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.
Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.
If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.
It's fun to be loose. Just like on stage, all of your great ideas come from looseness.
People who make lots of money at what they do should just shut up about it.
In the early part of my life I carried the flame for fiery women: perky women who were not dumb.
I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop, it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision, but he was right.
I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.
People pay to see movies with women looking beautiful, but I think there will be a place for me to play women looking my own age.
The sexiest thing in the world is to be totally naked with your wedding band on.
I happen to be interested in watching a face age. I like faces of women aging so it makes me personally quite sad. That's a beautiful gift from God. If people don't want to see that anymore then I won't be in anymore movies.
Never say never, but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp, and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
