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.

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.

Socialism proposes no adequate substitute for the motive of enlightened selfishness that today is at the basis of all human labor and effort, enterprise and new activity.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

If I had to come up with something that just came to me, I think growing up in a small town, I want knowledge. I still think today, knowledge is one of the keys.

There's more than a few remnants left in German welfare policy today. Many Germans eagerly condemn Hitler's fascism but won't examine the other reasons why the Third Reich succeeded for a season.

Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.

The NFL today has bigger, stronger, bodies than ever, moving faster than ever, hitting a stationary object harder than ever before - so the physics of the hit have changed.

The President of today is just the postage stamp of tomorrow.

I'm so happy because today I found my friends - they're in my head.

I don't know where the stock market is going, but I will say this, that if it continues higher, this will do more to stimulate the economy than anything we've been talking about today or anything anybody else was talking about.

I'm not up on today's television for children, because it's mostly cartoons that don't seem to interest me.

We aim in the domain of politics at republicanism; in the domain of economics at socialism; in the domain of what is today called religion, at atheism.

Today's interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization.

The most profound, tangible influence in my life has been my wife, Monique. I don't know that I would even be alive were it not for her, and I certainly would not be the person that I am today.

Were you to read the British press today, you would learn that the British Empire never forgets its defeats.

As patients and consumers, we are better informed today about our health care than any previous generation.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.
