I actually cannot stand a room without a view - I would rather have a bedroom the size of a closet with a view over a suite without one.

The pedicure is beside the point - the rub is all I care about. And not just my feet, my calves and thighs. There is nothing better, except maybe a scalp massage.

It's hard to get those roles that allow you to show everything and feel like you're really being used and exhausted and spent, which I think is what actors really love: We want to be tired.

I know people who try open relationships. People I really care about, they're fine with it. That's a personal decision.

I love the idea that we're going to be genderless and boundaryless in the future.

I have a combination of self-love and self-loathing, just like most people.

Families just have so many secrets and dysfunctions.

I'm not someone who had to worry about aging on camera. I was already aged when I got there.

Some of the greatest stuff that I watch, that I'm drawn to, is deeply flawed human beings, because they're representing a part of us that might not be all of us but the part we're most afraid to look at, and so we get to vicariously experience it through this character.

In a theater experience, the words and the feelings are the most important - the lights coming on and off are the only equipment.

I think it's amazing that I'm 45 and it is the most creatively successful year of my life.

Everyone's so used to taking care of actors and directors, but people in the crew are there the longest and working the hardest.
