Working with Jack [Nicholson] is sort of like standing in front of the Grand Canyon.
Without a great man writing and directing for me, I realised I was a mediocre movie star at best.
...I also have an extended family. The people who stayed. The people who became more than friends; the people who open the door when I knock. That's what it all boils down to. The people who have to open the door, not because they always want to but because they do.
My mother always said that everyone should be required to write an autobiography of their lives.
Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had.

I have a policy about fear: It cripples the soul, so you just have to fight it.
I don't think that because I'm not married it's made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.
