There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth.
Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
I’m never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.
The career I chose was a drama major in college, at Yale, when I played a 90-year-old woman. One of my most celebrated roles. Then I played a really fat person. I played a lot of different things. That’s how I thought I loved to wrangle my talent, my need to express myself. I like to do it that way.
I’m all over the place.
We are who we’re going to be when we’re very old, and when we’re very old we are who we were when we were 8.
If everybody that had two cars had a Prius instead of an SUV, we wouldn’t be in the Middle East right now.
I follow no doctrine. I don’t belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
I wonder which of the megaton bombs Jesus, our President’s personal savior, would have personally dropped on the sleeping families of Baghdad?
I didn’t have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.
Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up.
You’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Earl Blackwell finally died, and I was on his blacklist every year for being the worst dressed person.
Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.
I feel like I run a business although I haven’t one. It’s planning, planning, and planning.
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 believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities.
It’s so much easier to be happy. It’s so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, instead of always yearning for what you’re missing, or what it is that you’re imagining you’re missing. It is so much more peaceful.
When I was younger I spent way too much time thinking about me being too fat. So stupid.
Let’s face it, we were all once three-year-olds who stood in the middle of the living room and everybody thought we were so adorable. Only some of us grow up and get paid for it.
I don’t know why I don’t watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn’t enough time in life.
