It would be great to make a movie that had the style of a great '30's film.

When you're playing someone who has a strong ego about themselves, you can't play them when you have the opposite opinion of the one they have of themselves.

If my career were a hairstyle, it would be helmet-head.

I was raised by an actress, and I watched all those women turn 60 and ask, "Should I get face work?" And my mother and Anne Bancroft said to each other, "We are who we are, and we're not going to fall into that."

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.

I hope we can be consummate artists as women or revolutionaries, or whatever women want to be, and also have love, not only for ourselves but from a partner.

I feel that movies are gifts that come to you, and there are no accidents in what you end up doing.
