A woman my age is not supposed to be attractive or sexually appealing. I just get kinda tired of that.

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

It's fascinating how all of us, everyday, rely - at some point, to some extent, for some reason - on faith in our life. Whether it's God or not, or "Please help me!"

I am certainly a liberal.

I learned years ago, I adore acting and I think it's the most alive I know how to be - almost - but I really want a good life. I've been married for 17 years - I know, they call us the last couple. I have a 13-year-old daughter. I have a lovely home life with good friends who aren't in the business... and I have no desire to cost my whole life in pursuit of the career alone.

I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood

The idea behind doing comedies is that you go home a little happier.
