I have four to five months, tops!, per year to give to my acting work.

Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.

I feel very strongly that we make decisions about what we're giving to the world, what we're withholding from the world, by virtue of what we put on our bodies.

The biggest lesson I learned in my career was to ask other people what they make because the men usually make more than you do. And it's good to know. You're not allowed to ask...but it's good to ask.

Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art.

I say to myself, 'I don't know how to act - and why does anybody want to look at me on-screen anymore?' ... Lots of actors feel that way. What gives you strength is also your weakness - your raging insecurity.

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