I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.

Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.

I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.

I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny.

I don't know if this is a true statistic, but I heard somewhere that there are three times as many single women over forty as single men. That's what we got from the women's movement. The chickens have come home to roost.

There is no way you can get people to believe you on screen if they know who you really are through television.

A lot of people manage to find common ground and not let disagreements or tensions build up and destroy them, and other people break up or get divorced. I don't think anything is ever going to change that situation. You simply try to find an accommodation and an understanding with another person and work from there.
