Working with [Robert] De Niro taught me a lot about being an actor's director.

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.

I like to hide behind the characters I play.

I've never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I'm a good person. I believe I'm a good mom. But that's for my kids to decide, not for the world.

I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt. I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn't live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren.

No, no, no, I've just grown up too much to be hurt by what people's opinion of my love life is.

Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable!
