I am lucky enough to be married to a guy who tells me I look beautiful every day.

I became an actor because I couldn't not.

I was shooting one day and it struck me that I was the age that Shirley MacLaine was when she played my mother. I had to sit down. I had to get a chair, okay? It was a weird moment.

Once a Altman's film has been in a town, it kind of wrecks the town. It doesn't even matter what the film is because, suddenly, everybody's hip and stores start doubling prices or whatever.

I have a thing with the camera. The lens is unconditional. It doesn't judge you.

I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

Theater is all about the rehearsal process. In fact, I think a lot of times opening night there's a mixed sadness because you're finished with a lot of people's favorite part of the process, which is finding the character and discovering it, and then you get to live it.
