You're perfectly balanced because then you effervesce seemingly effortlessly. And it's a thing a person can't manufacture. You either have that or you don't. You have charm or you don't.

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide but being an actor has opened my soul.

Teachers perform major miracles in America, daily.

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."

Let's face it, we were all once three-year-olds who stood in the middle of the living room and everybody thought we were so adorable. Only some of us grow up and get paid for it.

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

I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.
