If I have to produce movies, direct movies, whatever to change the way Hollywood treats older women, I'll do it. If I have to bend the rules, I will. If I have to break them, I will.

The thing that I love about acting is the fact that I can help people feel things, know themselves or feel less alone. It's my form of expression, in the same way that someone might paint a picture or sing a song in that you're hoping that it moves somebody outside of their own way of thinking.

Directors are our teachers, and I'm always craving to work with a great director. They're pretty much the first thing that interests me about a project.

I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.

I love being outside with trees and water, lying down somewhere or walking. I do transcendental meditation, which keeps me calm and steady.

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

Who are we when we leave our families? Who do we become? What are we capable of? That's something that never leaves us. It begins at that point in your life when you leave the nest, and I don't think we stop wanting to explore that question.

Since I had children I have taken huge amounts of time off. In a way it's a really good thing, in this show business especially, to have lots of private time, having lots of time to be in the world to observe people and read and take care of my kids helps me to come back into work with a thrill.

Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.

I feel like I've been hit by a car every night, that's how I feel emotionally after The Race show. But it is a complete dream come true. For me growing up in New York all I ever wanted to do was Broadway.

There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A, that it was a vacuum of creativity, of humor or anything organic, and I was really angry at the place. But then today I feel completely different - I love L.A.!

Female roles in comedies are usually quite silly, I think.

It'll take me a lot longer to read a script if there's no director attached.

There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work.

I think when a man sees a woman who knows what she wants it can be scary, but it can also be tempting.

Some movies are the kind you take home with you at the end of the day, and some, you can let go.
