That is the simple secret. Always take your heart to work.

I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.

You didn't have to work to keep your fear up, your energy up, or your anxiety. It is all kind of built into the process.

I don't think we can say that all working women will get divorced - it's so dangerous to make these things emblematic of anything - but having said that, every person who has a big, important job and tries to have a family, has to make decisions every single minute.

When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no. Come on... Her, again?' You know. But, whatever.

The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.

You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before.
