The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part's not that great.

It took Sydney Pollack a long time to get me to do Tootsie. I asked myself if I wanted to play some frothy, ditzy character after I had just done Frances. Obviously, I'm thrilled that I did.

There was that feminist myth that we can do everything. I don't think you can.

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.

Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.

I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.

I have made decisions based from purely an actor's point of view.
