I would like to do a big movie that many, many people see but I just know I would be miserable if it didn't have something to it.

What I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and in film. That's what I think is revolutionary and evolutionary.

Having an education is invaluable.

I want roles that challenge people to question where they are in life.

Honestly, I'm always aware of the political implications of the movies that I make.

I have a couple of girlfriends who are like healing. We take care of each other. They know when I need to be taken care of.

I find myself more and more interested only in roles which move the world forward.

Being a mother has absolutely forced me. You have to write things down and have systems for all of it. And then you set up systems and you realize they don't work.

To get people emotionally involved in something intellectual and political is important.

A lot of actresses are doing incredible work right now, playing real women, complicated women. I don't feel despairing at all. And I'm more looking with hope for something fascinating.

I'm 37 and I was told recently I was too old to play the lover of a man who was 55. It was astonishing to me. It made me feel bad, and then it made me feel angry, and then it made me laugh.

People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don´t even notice anymore...

Any self-realized being has access to the dynamic genius which nature gives all beings.

Charlie is one of the big good guys in my universe.

Pencil in your plans but write your visions in ink

I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear.

In no department can a leader spend time more profitably than in the selection of the men who are to accomplish the work.

I like to listen to sad music when I’m sad. It seems honest. It makes me cry, and sometimes a good cry is the only thing that can make you feel better.

What a glorious time they must have in that wilderness, far from mankind and election day!

That heightened dynamic can produce interesting, funny ideas that are phrased in ways that surprise even you, as the performer.

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.
