If you get enough sleep, cut back on cigarettes and red meat, you look better the next day.

Sometimes I think they should set up an asylum for people like that... a whole slew of paparazzi defending their positions.

I would have made a lousy stripper. I'm just not very comfortable exposing myself.

My mother gave me a sense of independence, a sense of total confidence that we could do whatever it was we set out to do. That's how we were raised.

Even the busboys at the restaurants have a script to give you. Everybody is in the business.

Sean's a great, great writer.

Everyone has the answers.

I used to ask Sean questions about acting. He's a brilliant actor, but I could never digest his information. I work primarily on an intuitive level.

Is that romantic fantasy real? Um, after kids, no. Take the kids away, I don't know. Depends.

No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.

We really enjoy entertaining our children with characters. We'll act out all of The Wizard of Oz together.

If you're happy, if you're feeling good, then nothing else matters.

Sean's a better person when he's directing. He becomes a queen when he's an actor. And he's so unhappy when he's acting.

It makes me believe in fate. In most cases, the readings where I've been really bad have usually been the ones where I got the part.

Unless you're a star in this town, you're really nothing.

I just love getting dirty.

I've always wanted to be able to let myself go over the edge.

I have always been a good mimic.

I'd rather attempt something I'm not sure I can do.

I am not successful, in terms of Hollywood.

Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.

Sean's movies are provocative and challenging without being slick.

I like movies that make you think.

After every movie, I always kick myself for the same things-didn't do enough, not enough variation, not enough interesting choices, too bland.

I have such a little face.

It's just poetry, beauty and love. How hard can that be to act?

I like the whole package to be good, It's a rarity that that happens, so I end up not working a lot.

Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me.

I was technically a Valley Girl, even though I absolutely dreaded being called that. I really hated the idea that I was a Valley Girl.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.

I turned down a lot of things that were so-called commercial. You're coming out of one film, and then they want you to be in the same one.

I could not understand why Meryl Streep, for example, is allowed to work while pregnant and I'm not.

My favorite designers are Levi Strauss and Fruit of the Loom.

I want to be perfect. I don't want to fail. And you always fail.

When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.

If you get enough sleep, cut back on cigarettes and red meat, you look better the next day.

If youre happy if youre feeling good then nothing else matters.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

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

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

George Pal had total control, and he was there on the set every day. You never met a more charming man in your entire lifetime - what a lovely gentleman.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.
