I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.

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.

It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are.

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.

Just because we're on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, 'You're inconsiderate.' And I said, 'Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.' It's a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.

If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.

I guess what I have to say is, "Don't do it." I don't recommend it, because, having said that, the people that should do it will do it anyway, despite the fact that I've said not to do it. Only the ones who've said, "Oh, she said not to do it," aren't going to do it, and they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
