And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.

It's a great role for any age. Any actress wishes they would find a screenplay that means as much to them as "Aquarius" meant to me, as a person and a citizen.

The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.

I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.

Women at my age they are making love, they are feeling sensual, they flirt, they have boyfriends, they have a sexual life. They are just not being represented in the movies.

It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.

I'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.

For me personally, there is one motivating factor more powerful than any other: one day we will all die. Why would you not want to live a full and fun life and be everything that you can be?

Trees lose their leaves in blizzards like these.

Finish last in your league and they call you idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you doctor.

So many stories, and to choose which ones to tell and how to tell them. The words, they will tap me on the shoulder and they will speak to me: Tell me! Tell me! The stories choose me.

It takes a lot of people to make a winning team. Everybody’s contribution is important.

I truly believe that the job of an actor and the drive of an actor is simulating the internal journey in life which is to get deeper and deeper into our understanding of who we are.

I am glad to think I am not bound to make the world go right, but only to discover and to do, with cheerful heart, the work that God appoints.

It is our decisions not our conditions that determine our quality of life.

If we know how much passive violence we perpetrate against one another, we will understand why there is so much physical violence plaguing societies and the world.

The US is the wrecking machine that is destroying everything. The world is hoping that China will somehow come to the rescue.
