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.

I was always like, "I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!' "

I've read the Bible. I think the Bible's a great book, but it's a novel. It's beautifully written and la-di-da, but people really took it the wrong way.

I don't hang out with agents and producers and I'm not into the business side at all.

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.

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.

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."
