Well, I can wear heels now.
The things that go on in my head are far more interesting than what actually happens...
I’m trying to find a man to share my life with, but it’s not been easy. I’m a 35-year-old woman with two small children.
I think at some stage, I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.
It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.
It’s the desire to study the human condition, the desire for collaboration, to learn and absorb, and to lead a well-examined life.
I never wore glasses except when I had to read a teleprompter at an awards show or drive, so I didn’t notice much. I could exist in my head. It was kind of my escape from the world and my protection.
I love acting but I don’t like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are preceving you.
I’m not drawn to stories that are just sort of fluffy. I’m just not, and I’ve tried to, and as a kid I was never drawn to them. I always chose complicated.
You’re not anyone in America unless you’re on TV.
There’s just something about women and shoes, it’s the luxury, it’s the femininity and it’s the attention to detail. You can put a lot of work into your dress but if you have the right shoe and bag then you feel good.
I look at everything I’ve done critically – but I think that’s the job of an actor. If you ever sit on your laurels or think that you’re good – in a way, I don’t then think you’re pushing yourself.
Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.
It’s very easy to fall in love when things are great, but the way to really fall in love is when things aren’t great.
If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career.
Yippee! I can’t believe I made it. It feels like a long haul to get here. I’m so fine with it. People want you to have some sort of breakdown, but I’m relieved to be 40 years old, and I’ve lived a life.
I want to be in places I’ve never been before.
I got married really fast and really young.
As long as I’ve given something the best I can, have really committed, everything else is up to God.
I have my natural blonde eyebrows darkened.
I wore a merkin for my full frontal scene in Billy Bathgate.
