I was never a left-winger, actually. I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger.

I don't know who I am. But I do know who I'm not. I have occasionally tried playing people I'm definitely not, and that wasn't a very pleasant experience.

Being powerful is so much more interesting than being beautiful.

It was never my intention to marry anybody. Economics are basically the only reason to get married, but I'm very glad I did it.

I love men that love women. Morgan Freeman, who I worked with on 'RED,' was very flattering to me. But he is flattering to all women. He is a woman-charmer.

I don't throw a lot of parties. I find throwing parties a bit intimidating.

Women are always self-effacing and self-denying. There's a term that enrages me, and I always used to swear that I'd never play characters described that way. The term is "long-suffering."
