My heart's in really great shape thanks to spinning classes.

I'm more proud of quitting smoking than of anything else I've done in my life, including winning an Oscar.

I was a fighter and very determined. There was no way I was going to back out without winning.

Theatre is more exciting in the sense that you can actually see the audience in the eye. You know there are no takes and retakes. You have one chance to do your job... and you better do it well!

When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.

A friend of mine described it this way: When they were born it was like a meteor landed in our house and blew everything apart. We had to just put all the pieces back.

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.
