Most actors don't know what they're going to do next, so you get into this thing where you have to force yourself to have another life outside of acting. And then, as soon as you start something in this sort of normal life that you're trying to live, you get a job. So you have this constant struggle because you want to be able to commit to things and to finish things in your life, but then you also want to be able to act.

Life's short, so if you're going to spend months doing something, it's gotta be pretty special... But I'm very happy to enter my Baby Jane years, and hopefully segue into the Ruth Gordon years.

I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.

A woman who wears high heels is very different, I think, than a woman who wears sandals.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.

I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.
