The career I chose was a drama major in college, at Yale, when I played a 90-year-old woman. One of my most celebrated roles. Then I played a really fat person. I played a lot of different things. That's how I thought I loved to wrangle my talent, my need to express myself. I like to do it that way.

My advice: Don't waste so much time worrying about your skin or your weight. Develop what you do, what you put your hands on in the world.

I do think sometimes when scrolling through the TV and there's something on and I look at it and I think oh, my god. I thought I was fat? What is my problem?

I never thought I was somebody that would be on the cover of magazines in fashions, wearing fashions. It's like not me. But that is what movie stardom entails.

If everybody that had two cars had a Prius instead of an SUV, we wouldn't be in the Middle East right now.

Probably we should let Hillary [Clinton] play the role she was destined to play all by herself first.

Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.
