 All that attention to the perfect lighting, the perfect this, the perfect that, I find terribly annoying. |
| My family really does come first. It always did and always will. |
| Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference. |
| My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that. |
| Instant gratification is not soon enough. |
| It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead. |
| I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs. Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me. |
| The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed. |
| I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you. |
| Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too. |
| The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is. |
| Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time. |
| I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all. |
| I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do. |
| My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible. |
| Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there. |
| You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before. |
| I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work. |
| I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot. |
| I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts. |
