When I was younger I probably didn't understand something basic about tact, but I think it kept faint-hearted people at arm's distance and that's not such a bad thing, because life is short and I know the kind of people I want to work with.
It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are.
Most bad behavior comes from insecurity.
A good marriage is different to a happy marriage.
I became an actor because I couldn't not.
The older you get, the more you've done.
But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.
If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.
People who make lots of money at what they do should just shut up about it.
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.
It's inconceivable to some people that that wouldn't be the sexiest thing to do in the whole world: to be a movie star, and make money, and be pampered, and whatever.
I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.
I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.
