After I won the Oscar for 'Pollock,' some newspaper printed, 'She should get a million-dollar bump.' My sisters would write me, 'You're gonna get this million-dollar bump!'
The people who stood out in the Sandy Hook incident, the heroes, were the normal, ordinary people who went to save those children.
I think families should vacation together, and cruising is a wonderful option.
I was always an exhibitionist. I liked it when everyone laughed. But I didn't do plays in high school. I was too nervous.
I think irrationality is one of the scariest things in the world.
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.
I think to visualize failure as you're starting off is really a bad thing to do.
The only thing that seemed to me I could do in such a way that no one else could was acting. I thought, I can be a doctor, but there's going to be someone else who is just as good or better. I can be a lawyer, which I still sometimes think I would love to be, but I think there's someone who can do it just as good or better.
People have such false perceptions of how stardom really works.
I just never wanted to be too much in the background. I always wanted to be a part of things.
I love physical comedy. I adore comedy of any kind.
I played Laura Bush in a Tony Kushner piece, and afterward, I think my phones got tapped.
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.
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.
