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

I am to a fault an introspective person. But I am not a reflective person - except for a big mistake, and then I really think about it.

I eat cheese and salami and a lot of fried chicken. I eat a big bag of oatmeal-raisin cookies every night and I don't gain weight. I still look OK as long as I'm dressed.

I'm just curious, who's more fit to raise a child? A loving committed same-sex couple or an unmarried 15-year-old with no income and really no skills to parent?

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

I guess if you're lucky enough not to have to pay your rent, then you or I take much more seriously the kind of work that I do, what it takes for me to leave two teenagers of my own and six stepchildren and a husband and four grandchildren.

I wish I had a little more ambition. But then what would I do? Turn down more roles with more vehemence? Me no likey worky.
