I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one

I never trusted good-looking boys.

Not everything comes along just when you want it. There are times when choices just have to be made or you'll simply miss out.

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.

The only power you have is the word no.

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.
