I think a lot of the time, the studio system is so compelled to kowtow to its fear that women are not going to be found sympathetic. It just sort of euthanizes any hope of more diverse examples of the emotional realities of people. Representing my gender, I think, "Well, I have those emotions, why don't those ever get brought to the screen so I can feel recognized?"

Well, I can fake my way around some things, but I don't think I would be good at betting.

I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.

I feel like I'm the most forgiven actress I can think of, probably because of this short memory people have!

Well, I didn't really admit that I anywhere until my daughter started school and I knew I couldn't pull up and leave when I felt like it.

For me, going away to work is the hardest part of my life and career.

I have just enough attention to feel glamorous and important.
