'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.

There's always been a shortage of roles for three-dimensional women, no matter what age. If you look at the statistics on women in film, be they behind the camera or in front of the camera, and it's pretty nauseous-making. It always has been.

There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it's like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren't any films about it and there very few TV series about it.

My agent said, "You aren't good enough for movies." I said, "You're fired."

The people who stand on the sidelines and criticize aren't actually in the arena, spilling their blood.

I always wanted to be a great actor.

I'm highly emotional, so I'm highly aware of humiliation.
