In American cinema, people will take a chance on you, though they'll often remind you that really, they always liked you.

You learn something from everything you do. With every project I've ever done, I've always treated it like I'm still in school.

I'm very thankful that I've had such longevity and variety.

I look at marriage and I think marriage is phenomenal. I think it's great. I don't hold anything against marriage.

I remember that Jack Lemmon, who is one of my favorite actors of all time, says that the day he stops being nervous is the day he should leave the business.

I just thank god that I didn't grow up with so much money or privilege because you had to create ways to make it happen.

I went to the University of Georgia for a year before I left, and then I went to live with Eileen Ford in New York for the modeling agency. I thank god I could do that because all the other kids were getting jobs doing other things, and when I got to New York, I was very blessed. I didn't have to stop and be a waitress. I started making money at a very young age and was just very lucky.
