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.

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.

To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

Bishop Berkeley destroyed this world in one volume octavo; and nothing remained, after his time, but mind; which experienced a similar fate from the hand of Mr. Hume in 1737.

If fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyhow.

Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

Fate keeps on happening.

But since day one, we've always been kinda up against it. So at the end, it's not surprising that we were kind of led along for so many months and didn't know what the fate of the show was gonna be. It was... in a weird way, just kind of that was the way it's always been.

Commerce changes the fate and genius of nations.

I generally wade in blind and trust to fate and instinct to see me through.

All the nations they had to deal with, had the same fate.

Conduct, which involves a decision of the ultimate fate of the agent cannot be based on illusions.

To bear is to conquer our fate.
