 Bunny boiler is now part of our language, and I'm proud of that. |
| I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star. |
| With the hugely talented women I've worked with or observed, it's not a question about temperament or ego; it's a question about getting it right. If they've got a reputation for being difficult it's usually because they just don't suffer fools. |
| I had a dresser who literally squeezed me in like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. |
| I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated. |
| I'm an actor, that's my contribution. |
| Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do. |
| There's something about a catharsis that is very important. |
| It always amazes me to think that every house on every street is full of so many stories; so many triumphs and tragedies, and all we see are yards and driveways. |
| Ismail Merchant was just the most seductive, passionate, outrageous, driven, genius of a man. |
| We have to be vulnerable as actors, but we have to protect ourselves. |
| I am extremely shy. I am not happy in crowds of people. |
| It's gotten out of control. It's taking bigger and bigger names to make smaller and smaller films. I worry that important films without a big name attached won't get made at all. |
| I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy. |
| Celebrity is death - celebrity - that's the worst thing that can happen to an actor. |
| When they tested Fatal Attraction, the audiences were so upset by her behavior, they literally demanded her blood. |
| You have to love the characters you play, even if no one else does. |
| It is very difficult for girls. They're told to look one way, but to act another way. |
| I don't think the tabloids find me very interesting. |
| As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line. |
