I feel like being an actor it is a great way to do your job and be a parent, because you have a lot of freedom. You have a job and then the job ends and than maybe you don't have another job for a while or maybe you chose not have another job for a while. For an actor, it's like maybe you don't see your kid for two weeks while you are filming but then you might have three months off where you are at home every day and picking him up from school. I find it's a great thing.

Motherhood is the only thing in my life that I've really known for sure is something I wanted to do.

Abortion is a hard thing for Hollywood to deal with because it is so controversial and you don't want to alienate half your audience by sending one message or the other.

What is wonderful to see is how incredibly affectionate and physically affectionate Nancy Reagan was, you know? She was so on her guard, she was threatened by just about everybody.

It just feels to me like the death throes of an America that had many great things about it, but had many negative things about it. I don't want to go back.

I was in film before I was on stage. I started acting when I was like 12. But, no, I think my mother indoctrinated me very early.

I don't really want to get married to get married pretend.
