Every working mom I know is constantly walking some kind of a tightrope of guilt.

I'm growing as an artist and expanding my range, and not pigeonholing myself by doing the same thing, over and over.

I think I'm probably much better at the boots and pocket knife thing than I am at the high heels and martini thing.

One thing that annoys me is when you see women in these terrible and incredible situations with perfectly glossed lips. You're not going to look good in the apocalypse.

An actor without an audience is rehearsing.

The rite of passage of learning to build a fire that will burn all night with one match is not an insignificant one in my husband’s family, and I grew up camping and backpacking. I love to camp.

I love doing action scenes, there's that great thing when you sort of stop acting because if you're running, you're not acting like you're running, you are just actually running.

I don't watch horror movies because they scare me!

My husband's family is military. Preparation is just, from that family perspective, it's just a part of what makes sense to do. You buy insurance for your house; you have a go bag.

Well, I do lie for a living. I'm an actor.

You don't take a job in acting at all expecting 25 years in and a pension.

Knowledge gives you the upper hand

Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.

Cynicism is a boring and dull old man’s disease people have no business getting when they’re young.

Without a sense of humor, I would have been gone a long time ago.

It has always been the aim of royalty and aristocracy to lower the individual liberty and independence of the common people. A baron and a minute-man could not breathe the same air.

You see much more of your children once they leave home.

I just picked up golf, it was good, give me a chance to play golf.

Knowledge is not what is memorised. Knowledge is what benefits.

He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him

What is the Geneva Convention on wars! I have never read it.
