When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don't have a cook now, I haven't had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone's homework at the end of the day and make dinner.

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

When your kids come home, they don't necessarily want to talk to you. They just want to know you're standing there, ready to talk.

Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.

On every film, the clothes are half the battle in creating the character. I have a great deal of opinion about how my people are presented. We show a great deal by what we put on our bodies.

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 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.
