Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.

It's a wonderful metaphor, catching a wave, for how you can look at other challenges in your life.

I don't have too much time to jam with the rest of Hollywood.

Often when I finish a film I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.' And then, thank God, that feeling goes away after a month or so and I'm raring to go again.

I had a great '70s. I survived it, and that's always good news.

As a kid, you want to be liked for who you are. You don't want to be liked for who your parents are. You don't want to get a job because of who your parents are. You want to do it on your own, with your own gifts and your own value. So, I decided to spare my kids that and not be as pro-active as my dad was.

It's not enough just to treat women well. We have to work to make sure all men treat women well.
