Honesty makes me feel powerful in a difficult world.
Meryl Streep is an acting machine in the same sense that a shark is a killing machine.
I am a part of history whether people want to take it seriously or not.
If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.
I have a belief: What belongs to you, comes to you.
Living your life the way you want to live it is the most important thing so if you have to pay small prices along the way, it’s not important.
I haven’t a clue why I’ve lasted so long. There’s no reason. There are many people more talented than me. I think it’s luck.
In the recession people are going to be looking even more at what movie stars are wearing, as it provides a fantasy outlet.
In my personal life I’m not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man’s world, I’m really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I’m willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.
I love ghosts; I prefer ghosts to some people.
Come hell or water high you’ll never see me cry this is our last good bye.
Younger men are more supportive and a lot less demanding, and they also have more time for their relationships.
I’ve had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.
I just don’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can’t figure it. I don’t understand. If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority – gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich born-again-Christian, I don’t get it.
I’m not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I’ve managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.
Elvis was the first person in music that I really identified with.
I’m not gonna become Ann Bancroft or Meryl Streep and have all the burden that being a “serious actress” entails.
I just wanted my daughter to grow up, get married, have children and get divorced like everyone else.
I went through absolute stress and mayhem. I couldn’t go out, because people were constantly on my back all the time.
My relationships usually last a few years. When I’m involved with a man, other men are fascinated with me, but the minute I’m single again, half of those men disappear because they don’t have the balls to really want me.
