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.
I am one of the happiest people I know. And that's a weird place to have arrived at from being a depressed Jewish kid.
I started out in stand-up, so it's very satisfying to make people laugh, but it usually means at your own expense.
I've been acting all along. I understand that I haven't been in people's viewers, but acting has never not been a part of my life, just more time in between and less high-profile.
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 always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.
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.
It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.
I tend to wear outfits that match the walls.
I do not need a lot of money to be happy.
I think when it comes to Botox and surgery, actresses should do it or not do it, but be honest about their choices.
I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.
I have enjoyed a wonderful run in films, so far, and I may, at some point, come back. But it will be in my own time and in my own style.
I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.
