One of the advantages of being an older woman in films,is that you don't care as much about so many things. There are women in history throughout the world that need to be portrayed. Women don't stop being interesting at 20, they get more interesting and more fascinating and people are going to have to write about them. We're undeniable.

Aaron Sorkin wrote me one of the best female roles on television, I think. He's a wonderful writer for all people. If he chooses to write, hopefully he'll write something that involves more women next time, because I would love to do it.

Annette Bening should've won Oscar for American Beauty. I mean, I know Hilary Swank was there, she was so great too... Annette deserves one. She better win. I'm an Academy voter, and I voted for her.

I'm afraid of flying.

I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it's hard to be a woman in a man's world.

I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.

One of the things I love about acting is other actors, looking into their eyes, and working off them, and listening and responding to them.
