The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.

I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them.

Throughout my career I've played a lot of parts that might've been played by a man. They're human roles rather than specifically men or women. I've never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, 'There aren't enough roles for women.' There aren't necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.

My kids have never seen me scream at anybody. They've never seen an argument. There's never been even a cold silence. And those are things that I grew up with because my parents did end up divorcing.

I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.

I actually washed my window once, and it fell through - it was being held together by the dirt.

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.
