Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do it even though it takes a lot.

It's triumphant for someone to wake up to life. I feel a tremendous sense of liberation. You want to be able to use both your intuitive side and your go-get-'em side with no blame.

Acting is what I do. It's not what I solely define myself as.

I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.

Being a working mother means that you are always disappointing somebody.

And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn't make? If it's good, it stands up.

But I'd like the pie heated and I don't want the ice cream on top I want it on the side and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it's real if it's out of a can then nothing.
