I tend to wear outfits that match the walls.

I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.

I push for what I think can be the best, and if I feel they're not going for the best, it kills me.

I was never afraid of failure after that because, I think, coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years, the actual experience of course fades, but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?

I tend to wear outfits that match the walls.

A good marriage is different to a happy marriage.

An actress in a film starts every day with an hour and a half in front of a mirror, with hair and make-up and costumes.

Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.

But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.

I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

I am lucky enough to be married to a guy who tells me I look beautiful every day.

I am one of the happiest people I know. And that's a weird place to have arrived at from being a depressed Jewish kid.

I became an actor because I couldn't not.

I do admit to being challenging, but it's always for the work, it's never personal. I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

I do not need a lot of money to be happy.

I don't think it is worth trying to look 10 years younger through surgery.

I don't think that I'm that easy to live with. I have to be reminded that I can have fun. I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop, it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision, but he was right.

I happen to be interested in watching a face age. I like faces of women aging so it makes me personally quite sad. That's a beautiful gift from God. If people don't want to see that anymore then I won't be in anymore movies.

I have enjoyed a wonderful run in films, so far, and I may, at some point, come back. But it will be in my own time and in my own style.

I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.

I just live in the truth and think that every moment counts.

I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

I never lost my interest in acting but I did lose my interest in the business and what I had to go through to make a film. I felt saturated, you know, like a sponge when it's saturated - it's not good.

I never thought I would start working again, and I did, but it was really hard, and I don't know that I would advise anyone to step back the way I did.

I think it's a little irresponsible for women who choose surgery to then say they can portray the average woman on the street, because if the average woman can't afford those treatments, then she's going to say, 'I'm 53 and I don't look like that,' and start thinking she's ugly or inadequate.

I think when it comes to Botox and surgery, actresses should do it or not do it, but be honest about their choices.

I used to love going on a junket and promoting a film when it was not a 24-hour news cycle, and when there weren't so many media outlets. You could actually talk about the film.

I want to start a trend of women as we really look. Some good things, some not so good. I am tired of looking at frozen faces.

I was the all-American face.

I was the all-American face. You name it, honey - American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald's, Burger King. The Face That Didn't Matter - that's what I called my face.

I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

I've been acting all along. I understand that I haven't been in people's viewers, but acting has never not been a part of my life, just more time in between and less high-profile.

If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.

If you want to get a facelift, get a facelift. Don't sit there and talk about why you got it because of the pressure.

In the early part of my life I carried the flame for fiery women: perky women who were not dumb.

It's inconceivable to some people that that wouldn't be the sexiest thing to do in the whole world: to be a movie star, and make money, and be pampered, and whatever.

It's no secret that I didn't love 'An Officer And A Gentleman' then, and I certainly don't love it now, so at least no one could accuse me of being inconsistent.

It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are.

Just because we're on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, 'You're inconsiderate.' And I said, 'Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.' It's a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.

Most bad behavior comes from insecurity.

Most bad behaviour comes from insecurity.

My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come from a long line of women who gave birth in their 40s.

Never say never, but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp, and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.

People pay to see movies with women looking beautiful, but I think there will be a place for me to play women looking my own age.

People who make lots of money at what they do should just shut up about it.

Show me the story. I just want to tell a story that pulls me forward.

There's a small club of women who are willing to age.
