A woman came up to me after one of the screenings with tears pouring down her face and sobbed, You've defined my entire life for me on the screen.
As if people weren't panicked enough about the whole situation, I've been getting calls from my younger friends saying: What should I be doing? When should I be doing it? Aaggghhh!
Clothes are part of the character. They can't but help inform who you are.
I came from dinner, went downtown with my friends, the elevator was down, I ran down the hall toward my room at 10 at night, having had two glasses of wine.
I do yoga, I guess I have to admit it. And I do get on my StairMaster, and I hike. But compared to the women who run with the wolves, I'm a wimp.
I don't like sitting around in my dressing room very much. It feels a lot like theater.
I don't theorize too much. I sort of let the experience sink in, and I have to discover what the character is by doing it, and having those thoughts that she's thinking.
I just didn't work that much while the kids were growing up.
I just read that Time magazine cover story with all this information about how you have to have your kids by the time you're 12 or it's all over. Please.
I like to run, to go down the stairs, I'm one of those kind of people.
I look at Laura Linney-she shows up, she wears her pretty dress, but you could look at her and say, she's a good actress. I would have been like her.
I love to swim for miles; I could just go back and forth.
I loved it, but I really have to come to rehearsal. I had to spend time with the material. I don't know how people do it; it's very complex.
I no longer say nice things about yoga. I was doing yoga so long before everybody else.
I notice now, whatever character in whatever movie you're watching, they have these toned arms and muscles.
I remember seeing that movie with Nicolas Cage and whoever, where they're both alcoholics and she's a prostitute, and they're... built!
I want to be an actress, not a personality.
I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.
It kills me that my children think groupies were just this lovely sort of airy-fairy thing.
Let's not talk of years, darling. You accept it, and it stinks. You can get nutty, and go ranting like Cher.
People always seem to see echoes of their own lives in my films.
The 70s, it was such a different time. Now it's so fake'oh, my God! Nobody whitened their teeth'let's just start with that!
There was just this amazing individuality. It's just a whole different world of optimism and fearlessness, women taking off their bras and dancing around naked, and a political hopefulness and involvement.
There's no environment. Use your imagination. There's no fourth wall, whether it's the first time you've told this story about her life, or the sixth time.
There's something about soft, unstructured arms that's very beautiful.
They have great parts for people my age. I like playing the same character in different situations and periods of time.
We were acting! Right after the '60s, it was just such a different time. Now it seems like it's all so strategic, so planned!
Well, this would be nice if it worked out, but I'm not selling the farm.
What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.
