When I was growing up in New York City, my father was a taxi driver for a time. ”

Sometimes I think opposable thumbs were invented so teenage girls could use text messaging. ”

I believe that the female perspective is a very healing and circumspect one, and we have a right to equal voice. ”

Are we asking terribly much of people to be curious and interested in the female experience from the female perspective? ”

I feel like I'm the most forgiven actress I can think of, probably because of this short memory people have! ”

Some people fascinate me. They really worship at the altar of their careers, you know? And it's terrifying. It's sort of like setting a table and waiting for someone to come along and whoosh - push all the plates onto the floor. ”

If people knew what made hits they'd make more of them, so to have the illusion of control over one's career isn't something I can even pretend to have. ”

Some days I want to get the boob job, some days I want to get the eye lift. Then other days, I'm like, 'Absolutely not! Have some integrity!'... But it's all about what makes you happy. ”

I grew up watching Wonder Woman; I grew up watching Batman. I grew up watching George Reeves as Superman. ”

The stage always terrified me. The live audience is just one thing I bewilderingly look back on and say, 'How did I ever participate in that?' ”
