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

Teachers perform major miracles in America, daily.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

All an actor has, I think, is their heart, really,...that's the place you go for your inspiration. If my heart wasn't filled with them, where would I get stuff? What would I have to express?

It's amazing what you can get if you quietly, clearly and authoritatively demand it.

I would never say don't do acting [to my kids], because I think it is a glorious profession and I am so thankful for everything it has let me express.

It's hard to negotiate the present landscape with a brain and a female body.
