I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows.

I met Chanel in the 1960s when I was working over in Europe. She sent me clothes all the time because I was only, like, 110.

A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.

There are so many actresses that I love. I think Jennifer Lawrence is a prodigy. I think Elle Fanning is absolutely amazing.

I don't ever want to get too comfortable in my career or life. My nature is such that I'm always looking for new challenges.

I always love performing live, and that's what I was doing that started getting me acting parts, so I still find time do it.

I am convinced, completely convinced, that there was nothing random about [the adoption], she is the daughter I should have.

I paid more attention to the way I looked before my children were born. Afterward, it wasnt important to look exactly right.

It was fun. I'd never done anything like that. I'd never done any bi-sexual or lesbian scenes before, but it was really fun.

I played with Barbies but I used to decapitate them. I used to take their heads off then dye their hair and do weird things.

I like to work. I mean, part of it for me is that I was a struggling actor, could barely pay my rent, until I was almost 40.

I'm not one of those people who can cry on cue. If I have to cry in an audition, I'm like, 'Okay, let me see what I can do.'

To me, having 500 rolls of fabric around is the most calming thing in the world. I think it's what football is to some guys.

I don't have a favorite director just like I don't have a favorite color or I don't have a favorite food. I like everything.

It's amazing how easily people are led to fury and chaos. Unhappy people with guns are not going to make this country great.

Being a new character is like going to a new school. You have to try to maintain your own autonomy and your own personality.

In our world, we have so many ways we can escape with technology, like TV, Facebook, computers, text messaging and all that.

And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.

Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing. You won't go back!

With yourself, I think you have to decide the kind of person that you really want to be, and for me, it's just a sweet girl.

People are like, "Oh, I want to make your eyes almond." I don't have almond eyes! Why are you trying to change my eye shape?

That's my advice to people. You can't get hung up on thinking, "Am I the victim in this situation?" No, I'm in charge of it.

We always think of a diet with a big groan. But I think diets are fun. I think it is an American pastime for a lot of women.

I waited a long time to have children because I had this career that was kind of like my kid, it required as much nurturing.

Some of my favorite movies are just movies that are just good stories, and aren't necessarily big budget movies or anything.

I don't for a second regret my closeness to them because they were wonderful, golden parents who gave me so much confidence.

The curious thing is that I embraced homosexuality with as much joy and delight as I've embraced everything else in my life.

Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.

We're all interested in life outside of Earth. We all have a fascination with what's out there because we don't really know.

A lot of people have their own perceptions about me, like I'm very stuck up, so full of myself, you know. But it's not true.

Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.

Normally I can't watch myself at all, and watching myself makes me cringe, and I cover my face, and it's very hard to watch.

The fact that audiences have come away moved, excited, entertained and stimulated by the film is extraordinarily flattering.

I have some really, really good friends, to whom I'm very close, that I'm not revealing anything to, and that's really hard.

If you take care of the woman in the family, the whole family prospers. But when the mother falters, the family falls apart.

As a child, my whole life was books. They were my fantasy. That's where I could go. That was a lot of times [what] saved me.

Don't worry about something going away; enjoy it while it's happening. And don't worry about something that's not even real.

Actors have to protect each other in a way. The idea of humiliating another actor or being humiliated myself is devastating.

Every woman wants and needs different things. It's always best when you're honest and you speak up. It's hard to read minds.

I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope, especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty.

Angry or not. It's a human emotion. But you can't walk around being angry all the time. What a dull person you'd have to be!

I'm a huge 'Call of Duty' fan, 'Minecraft' and all those kinds of video games. I'm constantly playing video games every day.

I didn't have an incredibly active social life as a teenager. I always wished it was a little bit more exciting than it was.

A real feminist doesn't apologize for her beauty. You can be a sexy, beautiful woman and be the smartest person in the room.

I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday.

I'm just a very creative and outgoing person and I love being around people and being around music. It just gives me energy.

Bipolar indicates that you're not - you don't just experience depression, but the mood swing goes up, and it can go very up.

A lot of people have it - that fantasy of being lord or lady of the manor, either in the present or at some time in history.

I love doing comedy and I love watching comedy... Im more inclined to go watch a Seth Rogen film than a serious Oscar drama.
