Scapegoating will go on forever. We need someone to blame - illegal immigrants, single moms, people in prison. We need someone to victimize.

If you're a musician, you can practice your guitar every day and write songs, but when you're an actor, you can't just like burst into a monologue. Your only exercise is when you're in prep or you're working.

I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.

I thought it was a cool parallel. Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about.

The fact that I got into acting at all was kind of fluke-ish. I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.

I'm 44 years old. So, it's really great to watch younger generations getting their opportunities, and being there to support them in that.

I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they're still in love and still write together.

It's interesting because First Wives Club was the first movie that made a shitload of money that starred all women over a certain age. That was a milestone that made you think, Oh, things are going to change.

I'm not into wrinkles.

I'm not interested in playing the girl that's just there to make the guy, you know, give him a talking to.

There's like this great thing that Bette Davis said when someone asked her, How do you get into Hollywood? Take Fountain!

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

Most of my wardrobe is vintage, and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10.

I've read the Bible. I think the Bible's a great book, but it's a novel. It's beautifully written and la-di-da, but people really took it the wrong way.

I grew up in San Francisco. My parents were not hippies they were writers. They were very active politically, but on the intellectual side, not on the taking drugs in a field and listening to the Grateful Dead side.

I was mid-sentence when the casting director said, Listen, kid. You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough. You should go back to wherever you came from and you should go to school. You don't have it. She was very blunt - I honestly think that she thought she was doing me a favor.
