Well, for someone who looks like me you wonder where Alfred Hitchcock is.

In their 30s women really start to live... they're not children anymore, and they're not just mothers.

My idols are all older.

All I really want to do is entertain people out there sitting in the dark and for them to believe it.

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.

I can't wait til I get the chance to be a character and how my face looks isn't the first consideration.

You learn your text and have it in the back of your head, without a thought as to how you're going to say it.

The worst thing would be for them to find out who I really am, because that's where I hide.

I think right now in the world we're feeling like there's no solid ground beneath our feet, you know?

You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.

In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.

Well, I'm a consumer as well. I go to the movies with my popcorn and believe everything I see.

The least consideration of any film I've ever worked on is who is right for it.

You look at Gone With the Wind, how right Vivian Leigh was for that. Don't know if that would happen today.

Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.

But actors at a certain point take the best of what's available to them.

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.

I don't care what people's myths are about me.

It's important for me to see as many colors in the character as possible.

I mean, I always feel incredibly lucky to get a job.

Cause I won't repeat myself, the way I dress and look.

If it's independent, it's because I love it... 'cause they usually end up costing me money to do.

I like to show as much of a woman as I can. I like to fill things out.

It's part of the fun of it to work with strong personalities.

The fact that I got Drugstore Cowboy at all was a fluke.

I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

My whole career is based on taking a left turn after each film and doing the opposite of what I've just done.

And sometimes I do films so my daughter can see me work.

Most movie stars don't change their look at all.

I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.

Well, for someone who looks like me you wonder where Alfred Hitchcock is.

But I just wonder what it would be like to be able to go places without people recognizing me.

Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains.

When employers tell me they prefer married men, and encourage their men to have homes of their own, because it makes them so much steadier, I wonder if they have any idea of all that that implies.

And I, uh, I wonder how anybody can think his personality changes with his success. I've had quite a bit of success but I feel that I'm just the same person as I always was.

If I'd been easily discouraged, I could have been a one-hit wonder.

Christmas renews our youth by stirring our wonder. The capacity for wonder has been called our most pregnant human faculty, for in it are born our art, our science, our religion.

I wonder what all those Chinese poets sound like in Chinese. I like their distilled quality.

I always admired Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk - but I don't know if I'd be a very convincing hulk.

I don't know what keeps me going. Sometimes I wonder... I think it's just pure perseverance and wanting to succeed and having that burning desire to always have success.

Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.

I don't want to be a one-hit wonder.

There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.

I wonder if that's hurt me at the box office. Maybe audiences these days want to know exactly what to expect when they go into a movie, and my movies are hard to explain in just one way.

I wonder how many people would have thought at the end of World War II that the capitalist system would be one that was meeting the challenges and making things better for people as we approach the 21st century.

If, amid the multitude of contending counsel, you have hesitated and doubted; if, when a great measure suggested itself, you have shrunk from the vast responsibility, afraid to go forward lest you should go wrong, what wonder?

Sometimes I wake at night in the White House and rub my eyes and wonder if it is not all a dream.

Here is everything which can lay hold of the eye, ear and imagination - everything which can charm and bewitch the simple and ignorant. I wonder how Luther ever broke the spell.
