I was never strategic really, but back when I was starting out no one cared. In the acting community, box office didn't matter. I really think it was a mistake when they started paying people like $20 million to do a movie because now it's all people think about. Is she worth it? Is he worth it?

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'm not a drug user myself. I'm too little to take drugs - my body can't take it.

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

Suddenly you're the mom, or you go from ... You're not an ingénue, you don't want to play an ingénue, but it's like that line in The First Wives Club [1996]: "There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy."

Most of my wardrobe is vintage, and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10.

I'm 44 years old. So, it's really great to watch younger generations getting their opportunities, and being there to support them in that.
