Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.

It's very easy to fall in love when things are great, but the way to really fall in love is when things aren't great.

You're not anyone in America unless you're on TV.

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.

To appreciate the success you have to have had the failures. You have to accept that it is a journey and its not just tomorrow or the next day or next year.

As a woman now, I want to share things. I have girlfriends in their twenties, and I say, "Ask me anything. You can learn from the things I did wrong, and you can learn from the things you think I'm doing right. Take whatever you want and make it your own."
