The roles that I am attracted to are women who try to do something about their lives, and not a woman who waits for some circumstance or man to come rescue her. I have no interest in that.

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene

I think my mission is to become the greatest human I can. I know that sounds pompous, but what else do we have?

You’re not too smart, are you? I like that in a man

I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move.

What makes me angry? The education of children. How in God's name can you expect to have a functioning society the way we teach our kids?

Crimes of Passion, which is one of the best films I've done, will live strongly in my resume, even though it didn't do well

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.

I rent houses in LA when I'm filming. I find the isolation there terrifying. There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to be with people. I'm not a beach bunny

I don't believe in simply accumulating money, but I have the luxury to say that, because I have enough for all my needs

I want to believe there's a God. Because I sure as hell know there's a devil.

Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that.

I maintain that the expression of junk and objects has an intrinsic value, and I see no need to look for aesthetic forms in them and to adapt them to the colors of the palette.

If you're morally clear you are not on the Left

Information wants to eat brie.

Americans are overreaching; overreaching is the most admirable and most American of the many American excesses.

Yet I knew that spiritual practice is impossible without great dedication, energy, and commitment.

I listen only to Bach, Beethoven or Mozart. Life is too short to waste on other composers.

My kids are really easy. I often worry that they're too easy to deal with. They're really nice people.

To pursue science is not to disparage things of the spirit.
