My family really does come first. It always did and always will.

It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.

I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.

I never give any character I play less respect than I give my own life.

Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

The first thing [in career and motherhood] is a great husband. That I found many years ago and I am lucky in that way.

I get nervous calling myself an artist. I feel I'm more like an interpreter or a violinist, you know.
