'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.
You know, people really don't understand what actors do.
I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.
I don't want to look old and worn, but what can you do? My real focus is being an actor. I care more about having the opportunity to play roles that I haven't played than I care if my neck looks like someone's bedroom curtains.
I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.
I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!
I've done some good work and some not-good work.
I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all.
I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.
I certainly have a very colorful nature, filled with great highs and great lows... in my early adulthood I probably was grappling with some serious depression issues.
If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.
I haven't had an orthodox career.
