My heart's in really great shape thanks to spinning classes.

Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.

I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different.

I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.

I loved the stage and then grew to love the camera.

Competition is very good... as long as its healthy. It's what makes one strive to be better.

When I was first starting out, if you were acting on television, it was a real stigma.

A friend of mine described it this way: When they were born it was like a meteor landed in our house and blew everything apart. We had to just put all the pieces back.

I was a fighter and very determined. There was no way I was going to back out without winning.

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

Theatre is more exciting in the sense that you can actually see the audience in the eye. You know there are no takes and retakes. You have one chance to do your job... and you better do it well!

The distance between success and your dreams is hard work.

Publishers like a good buzz, and negative responses sell books just as well as positive ones.

My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all.

If the staffe be crooked, the shadow cannot be straight.

Until I did my work and I did my utmost best, I feel like I don't have a right to feel excited.

I'm very happy I get to keep working - it's an insanely fortunate thing.

I exist. It is soft, so soft, so slow. And light: it seems as though it suspends in the air. It moves.

I became a Republican when a very wise young lady asked me how I could remain a Democrat when I didn't agree with what they stood for and did agree with what the Republicans supported.

If you call a thing bad you do little, if you call a thing good you do much

Being a star requires risk-taking shoes.
