Television really does offer still great parts for women, cable in particular. ”

I loved the stage and then grew to love the camera. ”

I am an actress and acting is my passion... period! ”

I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested. ”

I'm more proud of quitting smoking than of anything else I've done in my life, including winning an Oscar. ”

And that's why I chose on purpose not to have a death scene. We've seen them in a million movies and it's too much like cranking the tears out. I didn't want that scene. ”

I most often land up taking up the roles that I most detest. ”

I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different. ”

I demanded two weeks of rehearsal because to me as an actor, that's the most important time. ”

When I'm not working, my time is really about my children. ”
