Say what you really want to say.

We all are doing the best we can. I would like to say that I'm a walking poster board for feminism and women's liberation, but there are things that I do in my life that deeply, deeply fall short of being a statement for being a strong woman. I am flawed as much as anyone else.

Meryl and Katharine Hepburn are probably the two greatest actresses of this and the last century.

That's what I tell young actors. "You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role."

I've been fortunate. I don't pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!

I worked with Sidney Lumet years ago, and we had a long rehearsal process, and he would tape out the entire set on the stage, so I stole that from him.
