I'm still very critical of myself in film.
I'm lucky: almost all my family has lived to be very old. I have one grandfather who lived to be 100.
I'm interested in writing that explores all sides of human beings.
I think when you're at your best as an actor, it is cathartic.
I think we as celebrities have a lot more control.
I think people have a right to their point of view.
I think for all of us, as we age, there are always a few moments when you are shocked.
I never thought my private life would be newsworthy.
I never speak for my husband, and I never speak for my children. It's a rule. Believe me, it is.
I never felt like I had made it.
I love the craft of acting, I love learning, I love everything that comes with the new project; the whole process is totally intoxicating to me.
I like things that I feel comfortable in.
I had never been attracted to younger guys. I had, from my late teens, always liked men who were older than me.
It's wonderful, isn't it, that so many people on the movie are being recognized, ... We're this wonderful little family of people that did this kind of small picture. We just did it because we thought it might be a good movie and we loved the script.
