I don't put together cars, I put together people.
-
A goal of mine is to try and be as real as possible. To try and not comment on the work I'm doing but just do it.
-
If they give you good words to say, and you don't get in the way of them, you'll be OK.
-
I make my relationships at work.
-
I try to construct some kind of backstory for my character so that I have an idea of the life of that character - not just from the moment when the scene starts, but from before.
-
People who are interested in the arts and theater are such a minority.
-
I have fun at work.
-
The thing about the four-camera shows is that it's kind of a great combo of theater and film. You have an audience, but you have a camera to capture things, so that's a great thing, too.
-
There are directors who don't cast you for the way you act but for the way you are, the way you behave around the dinner table.
-
All of our ancestors came from somewhere.
-
I always wanted to be a good actress and a serious actress. I wasn't in the profession to, quote-unquote, meet the stars.
-
All of my films have changed my life. I've met so many people and broadened my world view.
-
I guess I'm lucky in that I started working very young in all three of the mediums. I started in stage first, and then I moved into film, also very young, and when I did 'Taxi,' for instance, it was live in front of an audience but also filmed; that was a fun combination.
-
I know I'll work, but not when or where. I never know what to pack.
-
I think it's nourishing to do both comedy and drama.
-
I don't regret what I've done but some of the things I didn't do.
-
I've been lucky in my career. I've worked with some of the greatest filmmakers and actors around. I'm so proud of some of my work.
-
I happen to think I look best in black.
-
I want to be Geraldine Page; I want to be one of the greats.
-
In my experience, each project is what it is, and nothing is necessarily a turning point.
-
This profession has no rhythm to it - you're either busy enough to fall down, or nothing's happening!
-
My face is my career.
-
Buses and subways are this remarkable social club. You talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to.
-
As I get older, I start to look back at the field that I've crossed and realize that it was a mine field.
