Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.
The stage always terrified me. The live audience is just one thing I bewilderingly look back on and say, 'How did I ever participate in that?'
I just enjoy going to the games, but if you're watching the Lakers play, it feels good to be rooting for the Lakers. You're on the winning end of things most of the time.
I had a hard time calling Laurence Oliver 'Larry.'
You really can't take a cat and turn it into a dog, or try and get lemons off an apple tree, or what have you.
I've got a lot of mileage, and I love my mileage. I wouldn't trade a mile of that for a minute of being younger.
To be honest, relationships with the opposite sex are the most challenging things I've done. You lose your compass, gravity changes, you don't know what's up or down, you're trying to figure it out. You're trying to make everybody happy, including yourself, and it's just... it's humbled me.
It's all so confusing and incestuous and curious, the trail that actors wander through in the course of their careers and how stories overlap. It's funny.
I love the rebelliousness of snail mail, and I love anything that can arrive with a postage stamp. There's something about that person's breath and hands on the letter.
I can tell you that, you know, when I went to my first movie premiere, it was my own movie, and I wore the best jeans I had and my favorite top. You know, I made sure my hair had some wave in it because I braided it the night before myself.
I've heard stories of people, even celebrities that have gone online, pretended to be someone they weren't, and conducted a 5-year friendship via e-mail. Then, they got married because they really love each other from all that communication.
Love is saying you're sorry. It's the opposite of those cherub posters that say, 'Love is never having to say you're sorry.' Wrong! Love is three sorrys a day. If you haven't met that quota, something's wrong.
Because I tend to kind of hide under the sheets when it comes to reality television. I've seen probably one episode of maybe five different shows, and that's about it.
I rehearsed 50. I kind of stared at it a long time. I wasn't going to let it terrify me.
Secretariat was just ridiculously endowed with every positive quality that a person would seek out in a non-human. He was very aware of his environment; he surveyed the terrain before he ran and would look people in the eye.
So now I'm left with cigarettes, and I'm trying to scrape that off my shoe and then I'll be done.
My roles are in some way like children to me. You don't ever really want to scrape one off your shoe.
I feel like I'm the most forgiven actress I can think of, probably because of this short memory people have!
I've found there to be a tremendous amount of East Coast snobbery in the journalism world.
The potential hot tomato of today can turn into the cold pop tart of tomorrow, and I know that.
