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.

I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.

I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.

Singing and acting are very similar. Singing makes you reach into your deepest feelings. Singing is an extension of everything that you do when you're acting.

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

Having wrinkles is at once strange and exciting.

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.
