I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.

I think of myself as a highly sexual creature.

From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. People keep saying, 'Oh, you're a single mom.' I'm like, 'Actually, I'm not. I've got two boys helping.'

My mother is one of those very unusual, superb human beings-she's innately strong and incredibly smart. She created an environment for me to explore who I was.

I think acting is really fully adapting - to your surroundings, to your emotions, to the people that you're working with, to being tired, to want to go home, to being lonely, to being happy. It's adapting for me, and trusting. Adapting and trusting, that's my format right there.

When I find something that I really like and I can get it off, then I put my time and energy into that. It is a lot of work....
