We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is-which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights

Shirley MacLaine said, You're so funny, then gave me a hug. Everything went white. I couldn't hear, I couldn't see. I thought I was going to pass out

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed

Since I had the baby I can't tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn't need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that

There was a time there when I thought going out was so fun. I don't know how it happens, but suddenly that's not a priority anymore.

I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.

Christina Ricci is amazing, the most professional actor I think I've ever met. You can be chatting with her and when they call action, she's right there.
