I've grown up well, partly because there weren't great girls' literature - Nancy Drew, maybe - but there weren't things. So there was Huck Finn and Spin And Marty. The boys characters were interesting and you lived through them when you're watching it.

People will say to me, ‘You’ve played so many strong women,’ and I’ll say, ‘Have you ever said to a man, “You’ve played so many strong men?”’ No! Because the expectation is [men] are varied. Why can’t we have that expectation about women?

I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.

I feel like I run a business although I haven't one. It's planning, planning, and planning.

My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.

I didn't go to Catholic school but I had a tough teacher, a tough math teacher.I remember everything that guy taught me. I really do.

You can be afraid in a press conference, nervous, sweaty, but you can't be afraid when you do your work because it doesn't work that way.
