I've never had my heart broken.

The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.

I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.

I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.

And I realized that sometimes the greatest triumphs in your life come in on little cat feet and sit on silent haunches and it's up to you to see it before it moves on.

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.

I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.
