I’m not a sedentary person. I’ve always been active.

Yeah, I think the common denominator – and this is probably going to sound like Acting 101 – but the common denominator is belief in the character in the moment.

I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week...

I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.

I think that certainly my choices empower me.

I think, on the whole, men are much more shallow than women.

I’ve done yoga, and I want to start Pilates soon.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bight side rather than the dark side all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how...

Most of my friends from college became dental hygienists or went into retail, a lot went into sales. They all started getting married and having kids and buying homes and I was still living like...

Tim and Fritz Lang I loved working with. Not Hitchcock so much. There was no communication.

It’s no accident that Tony Hopkins is a wonderful film actor.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.

You lose your habitual behavior, which allowed you to sort of zone out. You have to be here, you have to be now, you have to be present.

I wouldn’t say necessarily that my life is as normal as the guy next door. There’s a lot that goes along with being in the spotlight.

Of course education becomes very very important and that’s for our human resource development.

I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.

Pop culture hales you and wants you to fail.

I was raised to pretend.

When my career first began, I didn’t have children – so there’s a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I’m going...

I think it’s a gift to become a star, to become a celebrity.

Everyone in show business has had the experience of the fan who is so excited at recognizing their favorite star, they say, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re my biggest fan!’

I love to go get fireworks, even though some of them are illegal.

I don’t consider myself a sex symbol.

I think I’ve always been good so God wouldn’t strike me dead.

When I’m on tour, I’m in a new city every single night, and the energy and the crowds and the kids and the screaming and them knowing every single word of my music and being...

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that’s really about it.

I’m a horror movie fanatic.

I thought maybe he would like me to do WILSON, and he was hoping that I wouldn’t. It was several days before we came to an open understanding.

I’ve given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can’t divorce a book.

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.

At 15, I still thought my mother would live forever.

My mother’s life had been destroyed by the Garland legend.

Since I had the baby I can’t tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn’t need to. I would peek,...

The story line was done in a way that’s organic and was doled out very slowly in little bites. We think that’s authentic for this character, that her feelings are very deeply buried or she...

It’s just too egotistical to think that we are the only lifeform in the universe.

There was something to me that was really compelling about that woman, already knowing she couldn’t get pregnant. When I made that movie I was maybe 24, and to be 24 and already know you...

Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that’s definitely a challenge.

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.
