I don't like to be gone all weekend and at night too. Because for 20 years, I've had children who are in school. |
I think your self emerges more clearly over time. |
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials. |
Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children. |
You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting. |
If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try. |
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies. |
I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence. |
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances. |
I'm all over the place. |
I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s. |
The work will stand, no matter what. |
The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process. |
Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you. |
I had this sort of idolatry for certain actors who preceded me, people who inspired me, so I'm honored to be that way for young actors. |
Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me. |
Expensive clothes are a waste of money. |
All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene. |
I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived. |
I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject. |
