The way Hollywood portrays mothers - you're either all good and saint-like, or you're all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member.

My first movie was 'Diner.' My second movie was 'Tender Mercies.' I did really good work.

When I played Leonardo DiCaprio's mother, they liked that Leo had very hooded eyes and a rounded nose with a ball. They said, They look like they could be mother and son.

The more powerful you become, some people especially don't like it that you're a woman. I stick up for myself.

When a 12-year-old, a 13-year-old, so desperately wants a baby what she's looking for is the kind of unconditional love a child gives a mother and a mother gives a child.

There is a certain androgyny to my appeal.

I like being married. I like taking care of people, having someone to make dinner for.
