It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.

How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.

I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.

I have a theory that movies operate on the level of dreams, where you dream yourself.

I separated myself in Prada because I didn't want to have fun. They were all having a lot of fun - Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci - and they were a little coterie of laughs.

It's harder for men to imagine themselves as the girl in the movies than it is for me to imagine myself as Daniel Craig bringing down the building.

I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.
