Democracy doesn't work unless the public is informed.

When I first got out to Hollywood, they were pushing me for sitcoms, and I didn't really have an interest in them. I wanted to do films and slowly worked that way. And then it became, I guess, this curse of the leading man.

I phoned my grandparents and my grandfather said 'We saw your movie.' 'Which one?' I said. He shouted 'Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn't like?

[Fatherhood] is everything.... The hardest job in the world, the most rewarding job in the world.... We put in long days. And to go home and have dinner with your kids, and have to discipline one of them who's out of line, and still have the energy for that is.... I can't explain the fulfillment of that, but it is everything.

I always heard criticism is the tax on fame. They were right. And then some.

You never know when I might decide to work in a Bollywood film and do one of those dance numbers with the whole crew in the backdrop.

I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony.
