I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities.

Fear focuses the mind.

I think we reserve a special place in our hearts for women who dare to try and be powerful, or occupy a special elevated place in society or when they are 'the bosses'. I think we really don't like it as a society and we have a harsh view of them. We look much harder at them, than the millions of men who aspire to the same positions and I can't figure that out.

Show business has been really, really good to me because I can work and take a lot of time off, and I'm extremely undisciplined person.

I love food and I love sex.

People will say to me, ‘You’ve played so many strong women,’ and I’ll say, ‘Have you ever said to a man, “You’ve played so many strong men?”’ No! Because the expectation is [men] are varied. Why can’t we have that expectation about women?

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.
