I love men. I've always been drawn to poets, artists, and madmen. Sometimes all three in one

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

Box office success has never meant anything. I couldn't get a film made if I paid for it myself. So I'm not 'box office' and never have been, and that's never entered into my kind of mind set.

I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.

At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.

Moments of pure happiness...come upon you unexpectedly. Don't be too preoccupied to experience them.
