It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.

Vengeance is just a lazy form of grief.

I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

As an actor timing is important, especially as a mother with small children, so a lot is chance.

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.

When I was working with Stanley Kubrick [on "Eyes Wide Shut"], he would always say, "You never tell the audience what to feel. Let them choose to have their responses."

You're either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you're going to be a voyeur. And I'm not a voyeur.
