 Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. |
| I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor. |
| There's something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too. |
| I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say. |
| I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married. |
| I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let me act until I graduated from college. |
| As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England. |
| My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive. |
| Women were real box office stars in the '40s, more so than men. People loved to see women's films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system. |
| If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish. |
| I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do. |
| Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business. |
| I just had a baby. I'm not going to work unless it's something really special and meaningful, because I can't imagine missing all that time with my daughter. |
| It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can. |
| I was having such a hard time when I made Sylvia. I gave everything I had for that role. It's one or two or three things I'm most proud of in terms of my work. But it was very dark. |
| Because I was newly pregnant, I was sick as a dog, yet I knew all my lines from a year before. |
| The Jewish part of me is superstitious. |
| We feel it's unacceptable to be fat, when it has nothing to do with who the person actually is. |
| In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film. |
| I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me. |
