I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.

I don't really have a plan. I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I feel like I was born to be a mother.

I hate to say it, but the older you get, you really do have to cut down on the amount you eat. Less food and less portions.

I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.

Don't give up. There are lessons to be learned even in the most horrendous pain. And you don't know that when you're young.

I think what's happening in the world - there's nothing more dangerous than a wounded beast, and the patriarchy is wounded.

In my marriages, I'd lost parts of who I was because I was trying to mold myself into what I thought a man wanted me to be.

Prostitutes are the inevitable product of a society that places ultimate importance on money, possessions, and competition.

I've been accused of being too flexible, too willing to mold myself to men, and that's something I'm constantly working on.

The bear is what we all wrestle with. Everybody has their bear in life. It's about conquering that bear and letting him go.

Most of the time, I'm in khakis and a white T-shirt. I'm a total Gap girl. Super casual, hair in a pony tail and no makeup.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

A lunch date is more fun than a dinner date; you're not tired. It's a secret that not a lot of other parents told me about.

At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
