I see my sisters, my mother, my grandmother. I like the way I look. I think I have a nice face. I like my eyes, my mouth. I have a good nose. I have good skin.

I haven't talked much about being an ovarian cancer survivor because I don't really want to define myself that way.

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.

After winning the Oscar, I was committed to do 'Fried Green Tomatoes,' but I didn't know what the next thing would be after that. It was a scary time. But the advantage of TV is the regular work. All you need is a hit series, I guess.

I hope I look skinnier in 3D. I hope I don't look three times as fat. That'll be disappointing.

The relationship to the director is becoming more crucial to me, making sure there are some common goals. I haven't been in the kind of position where my roles have been chosen for me, where someone says, "First we'll do this and then we'll do this," and it's all part of some master plan.

A heart can only discover what it really wants with experience.
