I'm in show business. I believe in illusion and delusions and in holding aloft the bubble of a dream of some sort because, really, there are lots of reasons to look at the chasm. But art and music, these ineffables, they're just - they're the consolations of what human beings can create and make, and delight is accessible, you know, should you care to find it.

No one has ever asked an actor, 'You're playing a strong-minded man.' We assume that men are strong-minded, or have opinions. But a strong-minded woman is a different animal.

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

This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.

What led me to that was I have never - I mean, I watch movies and I don't care who is the protagonist. I feel what that guy is feeling. You know, if it's Tom Cruise leaping over a building - I want to make it, you know? And I'm going to - yes, I made it. And yeah, so I get that.

You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.

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.
