The pure connecting factor is that those of us who describe ourselves as feminists want equal rights for all people.

My characters always like themselves.

I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love, but they have to trust that inner voice, and I think it is there. I think we are more...

I told him that I can play it if he wanted to write it, and I would be willing to try and go there emotionally. I did not know as an actress if I would...

If you mess up your children, nothing else you do really matters.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it’s hard to go back to sleep.

Sometimes I think I might insult people by being openly flirtatious, then snatching it back.

Socialism is practical, in the best sense of the term; a living, vital force of inestimable value to society.

So I was asked to do horror film after horror film, a series of about five, after that, and some of those were a little too gruesome. I wasn’t too comfortable all the time in...

Fame was thrilling only until it became grueling. Money was fun only until you ran out of things to buy.

I shot Footloose nearby, and we used to hike. Very fond memories.

I was born and raised in China, and my parents were missionaries.

Very few people run around and get amnesia and have comas and come out of them and do all the silly of people have strokes and have comas and come out of them and do...

I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.

I really like to talk when I exercise.

Houses are one of my passions. I probably should have been an interior decorator.

Men are wonderful. I adore them. They always give you the benefit of the doubt.

I was born in Connecticut. But my parents brought my sister and I to L.A. when-Hollywood, actually, when i was 6 months old.

If I moved, he moved. If I stopped, he stopped. It was a duel.

I’m not that fashion-conscious. A lot of times, when women are appearing to be so perfect, it’s because they’re a mess underneath.

I don’t want to be someone’s entertainment.

I have this sense that I didn’t really start growing up until my twenties.

A person’s portrayal on TV isn’t always how someone is.

When you’re a woman in your 40s, it’s not the best time to do films, because there really aren’t that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.

I’m no Ripley. I had doubts that I could play her as strongly as she had to be played, but I must say that it was fun exploring that side of myself. Women don’t get...
