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.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

You know, you're not aware of it, but you're following the action of the film through the body of the protagonist, you know? You feel what he feels when he jumps, when he leaps, when he wins, when he loses. And I think I just took it for granted that, you know, we can all do that, but it became obvious to me that men don't live through the female characters.

I have a lot of people to thank and I'm going to be one of those people that tries to mention a lot of names, because I know just two seconds ago my mother and father went completely berserk and I'd like to give some other mothers and fathers that same opportunity.

You have been told that Real Life is not like college, and you have been correctly informed. Real Life is more like high school.

Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
