I'm not interested in playing the girl that's just there to make the guy, you know, give him a talking to.

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.

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.

A lot of the old movie theaters are closing down now, which is really sad. It's still in the back of my mind.

If something brilliant comes along but I really feel like it's too old for me - that I'm not gonna have the experience it takes - I'm not gonna do it. Even if it's "a big mistake for my career".

The actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?

I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.
