Eli Wallach is my very own Sexiest Man Alive!
Foie gras is sold as an expensive delicacy in some restaurants and shops. But no one pays a higher price for foie gras than the ducks and geese who are abused and killed to make it.
On the whole, the politics of moviemaking is something that actors are kind of blissfully ignorant of.
Thank God I'm in touch with my emotions enough to be able to pick up my children, kiss them all over and say 'I love you' over and over.
Sometimes people ask, 'What do you wish for your children?' and all I say is, 'I want them to be happy being them.'
At a certain point in one's career, it's really wonderful when your child turns around and goes, 'Oh my God, Mommy, you have to be in that film. My friends are going to die.'
Commitment to one other person in life is glorious.
My body will never go back to what it was, and I wouldn't expect it to after three babies.
My children can't see many of the films that I've been in because I'm always either dying or taking my clothes off.
I won't allow magazines in the house. When I was younger, I wanted to have my hair cut like so-and-so in the class above me at school, not somebody in a magazine. You see young girls trying to dress like so-and-so because they've seen lots of pictures of them.
I was the kid who never won the races... I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.
Weirdly, when I'm playing an English person, I feel like I've got nothing to hang on to, and it feels a bit strange and exposing.
Winning the Oscar was like winning all the prizes in one single night that I never won as a kid.
I think groundedness is definitely something I grew up with.
