I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.
The more you are in this business, the more humbled by it you become.
Show business has been really, really good to me because I can work and take a lot of time off, and I'm extremely undisciplined person.
All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene.
There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.
The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.
I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject.
I had this sort of idolatry for certain actors who preceded me, people who inspired me, so I'm honored to be that way for young actors.
The work will stand, no matter what.
If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.
Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.
For me, clothes are kind of character; I don't follow fashion or understand trends.
Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
I need to go where people are serious about acting.
The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.
I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived.
My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.
I'm all over the place.
