My greatest asset is that I am constantly changing.

Parents are supposed to give the child back to herself with love. If they've got duct tape over their eyes because of narcissism, it doesn't happen.

So much is made of good, strong roles for women. Actually, it's really interesting playing vul­nerable people as well.

We're still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That's the old metaphor: You're born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude.

That's what we're all doing: paving the way, finding the roles that have the complication instead of the one that's always got it together or the dedicated housewife or the wild one who smokes cigarettes and sleeps with anybody.

My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.

We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.
