I am very fortunate to have a career. I always have to act. I don't know if I'll have a career to support it for the rest of my life, but I know I'll always act.

Being Irish was a big thing for me, particularly growing up in Chicago.

But Tommy Lee Jones is just smooth. He's just the real deal. I'm captivated by him because there's so little of that in Hollywood, and he just embodies it.

I'm the kind of woman who, when she walks into a party, all the other women leave the room.

Men love it. They have a sense of humor, whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don't get it.

You know, the bigger you get and the more success you have, the more people you can fill your house with to tell you how great you are. You can do that.

Sometimes when you're just thrown into something, you are more ready for it than when you have time to think it over and get nervous about it.
