At 45, you know what you're doing, but you're still not done.

You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.

In college I castrated 21 rats, and I got pretty good at it.

I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.

I like when there are complicated relationships, that there's a little bit of self-serving parts of it as well as a devotion to a person, and that there's a mixture of both in there. It's just I think that's a little more true to life. It's not always purely one way or the other.

Is it me? Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?

[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.
