That's what I learned. I learned I couldn't shed light on love other than to feel its comings and goings and be grateful.
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.
Stephen Shadley is a great collaborator. Over the years I've seen him work with a wide variety of clients and stylistic approaches. He listens to people in a way that makes them feel like they're part of the process. Steve is an inspiration on all fronts, and, believe me, that's a rare quality.
...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.

I'm limited, so, I kind of know where I fit as an actress. I kind of get it now, finally, after all of these years of trying to be a dramatic actress. I kind of think that'd I'd like to continue dealing with these things in a funny, lighter vein, but also truthful and honest.
As a parent I provide all I can, but I think in the best possible scenario you need to have a man.

Just have fun. Smile. And keep putting on lipstick.
Memories are simply moments that refuse to be ordinary
