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

Its only when you are a great actor and are recognised for your good work that you become famous. Unless you are in the news for the wrong reasons!

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.

I demanded two weeks of rehearsal because to me as an actor, that's the most important time.

I most often land up taking up the roles that I most detest.

Television really does offer still great parts for women, cable in particular.

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