I'm a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it's like losing a leg.

Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.

It's tough when take 1 is technically okay and take 2 has better acting. Out here (Hollywood) they print the first one. That's the one where we all hit the mark on the floor and who cares about the acting.

Lovers have a right to betray you... friends don't.

I'm trying to eliminate every vestige of my own personality, style, approach and get into somebody else's skin. Sometimes I feel I've accomplished it. But when I don't, I'm nobody at all, having left myself at home

I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward.
