I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.

I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.

People tell me that I am well-grounded. I am sane in the New England sense of the word.

I'm much more famous than I am rich, but I'm able to scale back my lifestyle. I know a lot of people who were where I was who can't imagine living any simpler, but I haven't got a lot of expensive wants.

I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.

I think something will soon have to be done to protect people from hacking and blogging and lying and spreading rumors and chasing you down the street. Lives are wrecked that way.

There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.
