I am not always happy. I am happy in front of the press. I can be extremely grumpy, ask my husband.

I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.

If you have a brain, you are obliged to use it.

My success has depended wholly on putting things over on people, so I'm not sure that I'm that great a role model. I am, however, an expert on pretending to be an expert on pretending to be an expert.

There are some days when I, myself, think I'm overrated... but not today.

I love Goodfellows and I love Nick Palleggi, but no, it's The Godfather, 1 and 2.

That's my way in the very beginning - how to enter it [a role]. Very quickly in the process, I don't think about voice being separate from the way you hold your head or the way you sit or the way you put on lipstick. It's all a piece of a person, and it's all driven by conviction.
