I try not to listen to the shoulds or coulds, and try to get beyond expectations, peer pressure, or trying to please - and just listen. I believe all the answers are ultimately within us.

I realized that so much of the pressure I was feeling was from outside sources, and I knew I wasn't ready to take that step into motherhood. [...] Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around.

I haven't played a lot of wallflowers but I have played women who have been vulnerable.

In film, the possibilities are greater. You can go beyond the fourth wall. You can go to these incredible locations and you're put into circumstances that are physically sensuous. It sometimes requires much more of a physical talent.

I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.

I sort of have a love affair with my work. Many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.

I'm not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.
