People say, When you have children, everything changes. But maybe things are awakened that were already there.

You don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother and father proud 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 need to go where people are serious about acting.

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

Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.

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."
