I feel less pressure to dress youthfully. I'm 50 and everyone knows I'm 50 - who are you kidding? Jeans are my uniform. I have about 15 pairs.

My walk is consistently made fun of.

When I was very young I never thought I was attractive, because I was a tomboy and I was always the biggest girl in the class.

I probably would like to do more than I do, because I love working, but I can't work more than I work because I have to do some facetime with the family, and the work that I do is just all-encompassing.

You know, when I am working, I take really, really good care of myself. I eat really well, and I exercise, and again, I have this team of people pulling me together every day.

It takes years for me to trust; I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.

There have been people in my life who have told me I have to put myself out there more. But it's so hard for me to do that.

I say really stupid things sometimes. When I go back and watch some of my old interviews from when I was younger, I just cringe.

Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.

I guess I sort of just feel like I am lucky.

The whole celebrity thing never is normal and I think the fuller your life is, the more you are able to just kind of call a truce with it on a good day.

The value of a good education has never left me.

I do think that, at one time, being an actress was the equivalent almost of being a prostitute. It garnered roughly the same respect. That's changed a lot, thank goodness.

There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.

I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school.

I do find comedy difficult. I don't know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

I find the less you focus on your flaws, the better off you are. Be yourself and be glad of who you are.

You can have it all, but you can't do it all.

You have a choice. It may not be a choice you like, but it is still a choice.

There are certain scenes you do in a movie that are like catching a wave, and you leave work feeling elated - almost as though you've purged something. That's rare, but you do live for those moments.

Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

One of the things I love most about acting is just disappearing in the role, as much as I can. I think that's one of the things that intrigued me about it.

And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.
