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

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

Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It's everything. And it's where you learn everything.

Singing and acting are very similar. Singing makes you reach into your deepest feelings. Singing is an extension of everything that you do when you're acting.

Without question, of the heterosexual men that I've spoken to over the years, that's usually - they say, you know, my favorite thing you've ever done was Linda or Sophie. And they were a particular kind of very feminine, recessive kind of personality. So they fell in love with her, but they didn't feel the story through her body.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple - love, sex and food!
