I want to feel my life while I'm in it.

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.

I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.

There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.

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.
