Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.
I remember, as I was hovering around 40, I thought each movie would be my last, really.
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.
There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth.
I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.
I don't like to be gone all weekend and at night too. Because for 20 years, I've had children who are in school.
It's amazing how easily people are led to fury and chaos. Unhappy people with guns are not going to make this country great.
Show business has been really, really good to me because I can work and take a lot of time off, and I'm extremely undisciplined person.
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.
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 need to go where people are serious about acting.
People at agencies and studios, including the parent boards, might look around the table at the decision-making level and feel something is wrong if half their participants are not women. Because our tastes are different, what we value is different. Not better, different.
Everything we say signifies; everything counts, that we put out into the world. It impacts on kids, it impacts on the zeitgeist of the time.
I know movies are a function of our dream world. And when you project yourself on screen, it's easier to project yourself into what you were, not what you are.
I want to feel my life while I'm in it.
It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.
I have four to five months, tops, per year to give to my acting work.
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
The work will stand, no matter what.
How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
My family really does come first. It always did and always will.
I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs. Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.
I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.
There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.
I'm all over the place.
I know what I do and what it means to me and where its sources lie, and that's mine. It still is mine.
I let the actions of my life stand for what I am as a human being. Contend with that, not the words.
Service is the only thing that's important about love. Everybody is worried about 'losing yourself' - all this narcissism. Duty. We can't stand that idea now either... But duty might be a suit of armor you put on to fight for your love.
It's a good thing to imagine yourself doing something you think you can't. I do that every day because, basically, if I had it my way, I'd just stay home and think about what I'm having for supper.
I was offered, within one year, three different witch roles. It was almost like the world was saying - or the studios were saying - 'We don't know what to do with you.'
