I would say, don't smoke. I'm kidding, but yeah, I did smoke in college and as a young actor and it's stupid.

It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.

I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.

And she [Margaret Thatcher] also had a sort of a way, like a railroad train, of going, taking a breath and starting quite quietly and making a point in a way that you don't really know that this point is going to be made through several examples, and there will be not be a break in the speaking voice at any point.

It's sort of my fun to sing along with records and imitate people who are on the telephone that have different ways of speaking.

I don't have very much interest in trends and fashions. I don't follow the fashion shows and stuff like that into my real life. But I'm very, very interested in how people put themselves together, how women and men announce themselves to the world, through what they put on their bodies. Whether we choose Birkenstocks or whether we choose Burberry - it all signifies something and it's really interesting to me.

I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.
