At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.

I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.

I work very hard at relationships. I've done the thing of being home. I worked all day and came home and did all the stuff at home that a woman is supposed to do, the cooking and the entertaining. I'm a perfectionist, and, besides, I loved all those things.

I went to see Oliver Stone's 'Heaven & Earth,' which I thought was a wonderful movie, but I walked out because I was so moved. It was too painful to watch.

You have to forgive everybody. It's the best beauty treatment.

Success as a woman has changed me. That's what I feel is the first thing. When I feel like a successful woman as a rounded human being, then it feeds my work in a broader way so it becomes more interesting.

I'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.
