I'm too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn't call myself a woman. I'd say I'm somewhere between a chick and a broad.

I prefer to act with friends. I mean you start off as strangers always with someone, but to really find a relationship that you enjoy personally and creatively, it's fantastic.

I cannot absorb living in a world where I have an Oscar for best actress and Denzel doesn't have one for best actor.

When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not.

I'm just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job.

I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy and when I'm confounded.

I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you're ridiculed.
