There are certainly a billion, ker-trillion girls out there more attractive than I am.
I'm fortunate to have a team of people who help me. I've got an assistant, an office manager, a nanny - she's not full-time, but she's there when I need her.
I played Laura Bush in a Tony Kushner piece, and afterward, I think my phones got tapped.
Back in the days of Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Davis, beauty wasn't the be-all and end-all it is today.
I think in terms of family, in terms of relationships, in terms of work, competition to be the favorite, to be the noticed, to be the one - I don't know if it exists for all personalities, but I know for sure it did with me.
In my opinion, Zac Efron is a total hero. Him seeking help encourages other people with addictive issues to seek help. It's brave of him.
Shakespeare set a lot of his dramas in a historical perspective or war perspective, or he would study what was going on at that time.
Everyone thinks offers are always pouring in. Offers have never poured in. Never. I was auditioning a lot, but I didn't get the jobs.
My schools were quite diverse - those who serve their country come from every race and religion - and so the military schools I attended were a wonderful melting pot.
I love physical comedy. I adore comedy of any kind.
I examine other people's characteristics, so when I'm playing characters, I don't always have to make them me; I can transform into others.
You know what I miss? I miss myself, that time to just do things for myself.
Whether you win or not, the night the Oscars are over, the curtain goes down and you go back to the grind. Period.
I loved playing Anne Bancroft, because she was so wonderfully arch.
