I was always proud about being from Texas and, you know, maybe that was part of fearlessness. I love the fact that Texas is so big, but you don't feel small because of that.

But you finally think, there is what there is, and you have to work within those confines and just keep chipping away at your own work.

I had a dozen years to act before starting a family then found that motherhood dwarfed everything else. Once or twice a year, I take a project that appeals to me for its redeeming social value.

I'm a fool for a good role in a creative piece where there are really such talented writers and wonderful actors.

I don't take characters home with me.

You don't forget the movies, but you forget the details of them.

You shouldn't change what you are in the search for success.
