More yoga in the world is what we need.
I have just enough attention to feel glamorous and important.
I know I’ve made the right decision when I’ve followed my heart.
I think I’d be in an entirely different business if it were easy.
If people knew what made hits they’d make more of them, so to have the illusion of control over one’s career isn’t something I can even pretend to have.
When I was 12, all I wanted was to be good at school, and to do something admirable, something you can’t take away from me because I’m not popular or beautiful enough.
Catholics have guilt and Jews have guilt, fine. But mothers can trump them all.
You really can’t take a cat and turn it into a dog, or try and get lemons off an apple tree, or what have you.
When I really young yet feeling very old, I offered up a lot of myself to the press; I knew it was good copy.
For me, I don’t even like to promote my films but I have to because it’s in the fine print of my contract.
I feel like I’m the most forgiven actress I can think of, probably because of this short memory people have!
I love my work, but there is no price you can put on what you miss when you are away from your kids.
I try not to be overly analytical.
I think that directing is the ultimate martyred task of filmmaking, that it has nobility to it. It takes three years to make a film, for the most part. I think it requires the attentiveness of a mother hen.
I’m not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.
My roles are in some way like children to me. You don’t ever really want to scrape one off your shoe.
Sometimes I think opposable thumbs were invented so teenage girls could use text messaging.
To me, there’s no greater reward than being around people you care about and can be present with.
Well, I can fake my way around some things, but I don’t think I would be good at betting.
You can’t get work without working.
