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

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.

My interests were in fantasy more than comics growing up.

You can also make explicit certain social problems which, again, would be prejudged or not encountered at all in real life, because people have set up defenses against it. Fantasy allows you to get past defenses.

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

Fantasy is toxic: the private cruelty and the world war both have their start in the heated brain.

We in this Congress have a choice. The American people have a right to exercise a choice on this issue, as to whether our men and women will continue to fight and die in a war based on deception and fantasy, or to start bringing the troops home.

One fantasy is that I just do a Don Roos movie every year if that's possible. If he'd have me.

I mean, I don't know anything else that I would try to do, but it's a very frustrating thing to do, because you are trying to take what's a fantasy in your head and make it live through the minds of 200 people.

I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene.

There is no winning or losing, but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you're involved in, whether it's a fantasy game, the Wild West, secret agenst or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.

I think I'll give it up, the fantasy is over, I wanted to play Spiderman, Peter Parker.
