The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then.

A story a friend told me about being in New York and meeting this Latin-lover kind of guy. They went up to her hotel room, and the guy kind of pounced on her and told her to spread her legs, shouting, Surrender the pink! Surrender the pink! That's where it's from.

For Star Wars, they had me tape down my breasts because there are no breasts in space. I have some. I have two.

I don't like my face. I don't like to look at it.

Image
I was telling some people in my dressing room some of my other stories, my psychotic break, and blah, blah, blah, and no, they kind of look at you and it's just not what they wanted to hear.

My father was a joyous, joyous spirit, he really was. He was a hedonist, that was just - he enjoyed life, thrust up to the elbows with it. He was a terrible father. I don't know that he was parented that well.

I can't say that period talk is my favorite bonding arena. But I also think it's sort of funny.

My mother had an amazing life, and she's someone to admire.

I found out when I did the Oprah Winfrey show that there was a cookie jar of me. So she gave it to me. I had no idea prior to that that it even existed.

I like the community of acting better than the prison of writing. I like sets.

My mother is an extraordinary woman, extraordinary.

Until adolescence I thought I had the best mother in the world. Such a graceful mother. I had this fantasy that I was the wrong daughter.
