My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.

I wouldn't have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.

The best thing about modern living is anaesthesia.

Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.

People are always telling me that change is good. But all that means is that something you didn't want to happen has happened.

I'm a sucker for a funny script. And then, as soon as I don't wanna be, one comes along and grabs me.

What brings people down is the same thing over and over.

I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.

I heard that chivalry was dead, but I think it's just got a bad flue.

Neither of us, me nor Dennis, is cavalier about a breakup. We both behaved very honorably.

I've been in this business for years and I'm still befuddled by the ways of this town.

And the insidious thing is that people will either see a movie because it did well last weekend or won't see it because it didn't do well.

My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.

It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.

I think there's an ongoing effort involved in trying to get a bigger perspective, trying to let go of things that limit your capacity to love and be loved or your capacity to hear and to really speak.

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man, it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.

Acting is what I do. It's not what I solely define myself as.

I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.

A l lot of films I've done are essentially about women who are finding their voice, women who don't know themselves well.

Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do even though it takes a lot.

When I wear high heels I have a great vocabulary and I speak in paragraphs. I'm more eloquent. I plan to wear them more often.

I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue.

If you empower women you can change the world.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

I have been driven demented in my career.

The blues is something separate from what I do. They connect at certain spots, but blues is different. I wouldn't put it in with what my career has been. That would be a whole separate wing.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

Warren Beatty took an interest in my career at one point.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.

The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.

Sometimes you get caught up in what's going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you're not just a regular guy.

I've spent my career trying to help people without connections understand what's going on so that they have a chance of getting a fair shake from the connected and the powerful.

If I had my career to play over, one thing I'd do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody remembers them.

I found in my whole career the best thing that can happen to you is that you hear what people want.
