One of the reasons I've never done intensive psychotherapy or any of that stuff is that if there's anything in me that needs fixing, I want to know that I can rely on my own intuition to fix it.
I went up to Meryl Streetp and said 'I love you so much I want to tongue kiss you' And she said 'OK'.
I've decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that. And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, 'I love this.'
The assistant asked, `What do you want on it?' and Leo said, `Oh, Kate will tell you.' And Leo just kind of fell asleep. And I did know exactly what he wanted - this kind of cheese and no tomato and no pickle. I absolutely knew. And I thought, `God, that's really weird that I know this person so well.' It was brilliant.
I have just wanted to be an actress. That's always been my goal. I didn't want to be famous.
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.

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.
