While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.

I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.

I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.

On every film, the clothes are half the battle in creating the character. I have a great deal of opinion about how my people are presented. We show a great deal by what we put on our bodies.

Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.

Jumpsuits for men are always so difficult when you get to that one area.

You know, you're not aware of it, but you're following the action of the film through the body of the protagonist, you know? You feel what he feels when he jumps, when he leaps, when he wins, when he loses. And I think I just took it for granted that, you know, we can all do that, but it became obvious to me that men don't live through the female characters.
