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 my own worst enemy sometimes when I pick projects.

My dad studied at the American Conservatory in Chicago, so he lived on all those streets. He said the war probably saved his life because he'd have ended up a dead musician, with all the crazy stuff they did on Rush Street back in the day.

I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road.

I just feel passionately about the horses and I will until it's no longer a tradition in New York.

I'm all for anybody having a party who wants that. The funny thing about me and birthdays or any kind of celebration where it brings attention to you in that way is that it's never been anything that I've thoroughly enjoyed - even as a little kid.

I've been so blessed because I've had such longevity. I'm not a big red carpet girl. But I love the work. In this business, you can be at the top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel, and you're grape juice. I've been at both ends. It can make you become what you really are.
