I don't like sitting around in my dressing room very much. It feels a lot like theater.

What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.

There was just this amazing individuality. It's just a whole different world of optimism and fearlessness, women taking off their bras and dancing around naked, and a political hopefulness and involvement.

I just didn't work that much while the kids were growing up.

A woman came up to me after one of the screenings with tears pouring down her face and sobbed, You've defined my entire life for me on the screen.

I dont theorize too much. I sort of let the experience sink in, and I have to discover what the character is by doing it, and having those thoughts that shes thinking.

I notice now, whatever character in whatever movie youre watching, they have these toned arms and muscles.
