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

I don't know what my image is. I went to France to publicize Marvin's Room, and one really smart young woman journalist said to me, "You know, when I told people I was going to interview Meryl Streep they were so excited... all ze women in my office, they love you so much. But ze men - they are afraid of you."

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

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.

Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.

We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8.

You're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Earl Blackwell finally died, and I was on his blacklist every year for being the worst dressed person.
