When I got out of my Twenties I stopped playing women that were victims. I like playing women who are strong and have a piece of mind.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.

I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.

There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.

I'm certainly not a prude.

I'm a woman of a certain age who doesn't have kids and never really settled down ... I enjoy kids but not for long periods. I think they're adorable and funny and sweet, and then I have a headache.

When I see a woman who looks her age, she's radiating something, and it's life.

Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.

I've learned that I can't have a packed work schedule and a packed social schedule and a packed personal life; I need to just have time to myself to sit and breathe and unwind.

That's what life is - you follow where your heart leads you - at least I do.

Do not try to understand average people. They are poison for somebody who´s in constant action.

A beautiful face cannot hide an ugly heart for long.

The tradition piece is so embedded in me I don't know that I can see it any more, but the community piece is one I've been in danger of losing.

The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me.

Fur is not murder, but it is quite expensive.

Theology must work itself out in the most practical relationships.

In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.

In a culture where profit has become the true God, self-sacrifice can seem incomprehensible rather than noble.

When you see your male counterparts living a completely different lifestyle, I think it would be quite depressing! So no, it's not for me.
