I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

I can't tell you how many doctors try to sell me a facelift. I've even gone as far as having someone talk me into it, but when I went over and looked at pictures of myself, I thought 'What are they going to lift?' . . Frankly, I think that in the art of aging well there's this sexuality to having those imperfections. It's sensual.

I knew what I wanted to do even when I was a little girl.

I know I am known for flesh-flashing, but I am an actress, too.

When I'm with my friends' teenage children, I always say, 'Are your friends having sex yet?'

Every time I exercise, I do something different based on which areas need to get in motion.

I don't think Julia Roberts is as innocent as her image suggests. You have to be a really smart cookie to create an image as clean and pure and on-the-money as hers.
