I can talk myself so much into my part.

It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.

I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean.

I keep seeing myself in my daughter, and I see my mother in me and in her. Bloody hell.

Debate is so much better than denial.

It's getting better but men still earn more and there are more jobs for them. Ageism is a big thing. Parts for women disappear as you get older.

There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.

I can understand why people get annoyed at being remembered for one thing, but a lot of actors aren't remembered for anything. I don't mind that.

When I think of the future, I think of doing my washing so I've something to wear tomorrow.

I couldn't watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up.

Art too is just a way of living.

Invest your time and add value to your life because that is the only way to greatness.

Is not it interesting that you had everything you needed in the first nine months, why is not that true for the next ninety years, because we interfere.

I had written childrens books for 14 years before I published Wicked. And none of them were poorly reviewed, and none of them sold enough for me to be able to buy a bed.

We do not know what we see, but we see what we know.

I've not met one person, even if they are not creative, who isn't dysfunctional. I guess artists are just a bit more aware of their dysfunction because it serves a purpose.

Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

My culinary wardrobe is the same as my biking wardrobe, just no shoes.

Them pains, when blues pains grab you, you'll sing the blues right.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
