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.

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.

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.

I think that we pay much more attention to fashion and our hair, skin and foreheads, our abdominal muscles and shoes than what is happening in the world. We willingly take that 'drug' and go along with that.

It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.

The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.

I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject.
