Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young, like six or seven years old.

I don't get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there's always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way.

I don't think I realized that the cost of fame is that it's open season on every moment of your life.

It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates.

Happiness isn't happiness unless there's a violin-playing goat.

My greatest sense comes from the experience of performing in the movie. When I have a great experience, that becomes a perfect movie. If it makes a nickel, it's still perfect. The same is true with a movie that's a bad experience. If it makes a bejillion dollars, I will hate it till the end of time.

You can be true to the character all you want but you've got to go home with yourself.
