Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.

Beauty set up distance between other people and me. It warped their behavior.

Memory is the first casualty of middle age, if I remember correctly.

Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.

I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I couldn't hold it together today. George Clooney asked me if I was OK, and I practically collapsed. I couldn't stop crying, I had to go off sobbing like an idiot.

When are you going to realize that if it doesn't apply to me it doesn't matter?

I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.

I have never savored life with such gusto as I do now.

I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.

Though beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement, it's rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you're just renting for a while.

Were women meant to do everything - work and have babies?

I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.

I never have really said much about the whole episode, which was endless. But his speech was a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did.

I have never appreciated a quiet moment with a friend as much, a quiet moment with a book and I think part of that is my obsession with being older and time going faster and it's become increasingly sweeter for me.

Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't think anything of going off for a few weeks and leaving their kids.

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.

I certainly love doing comedy and feel most comfortable near it.

Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.

Glamorized... am I glamorous?

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.

I've never felt more comfortable in my skin, I've never enjoyed life as much and I feel so lucky.

Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans.

I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.

I believe a lot in monogamy, let me tell you.

I was getting offers. I had just turned them down. Then I realized I should be grateful that at age 54, people were still offering me film roles.

It's impossible to be more flat-chested than I am.

It's not just in Hollywood that women run the risk of being passed by once they reach 50. It happens in real life, too.

But when I disappeared, it sort of pissed me off, that guys get to go on being sexual until they're seventy or eighty, and we disappear at forty-five or fifty.

But it was hard to leave because the show's been so important in our lives.

Men say they love independence in a woman but they dont waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by product of middle age.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film.

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.

I remember having to take detours around the Hollywood sign to avoid having to see this grotesque poster of myself on Sunset Boulevard.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

Everyone is treating it like a Hollywood story. In Madison, it's a neighborhood story.
