We have to band together, but the thing in America is that people are terrified of losing their jobs... Maybe California needs to secede. The only thing that'll make any difference is the money... Tax dollars and losing that amount of money. It's one of the most economically powerful states, isn't it? That's where it hurts.

I love theatre - it's where I started - and I've directed a play myself. I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'

One of my favorite moments is onstage, when you see a dancer leap, and you think they're flying, and then they fall. It's that moment of suspension that you look for, and sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't.

An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'

If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.

Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.

It's been a long time since universal suffrage, and I'm sick of the old white men running the show.
