Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.
-
Being a gossip reporter just isn't a respectable job. It'll chew you up and spit you out.
-
Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.
-
Have you seen some of the women - and the men - in Los Angeles? They pay surgeons to make them look completely different in the hope of finding their youth. But youth comes from within. If you have a young attitude, then that can show in your face, the way you walk and move.
-
Your dressing area should be your private space.
-
I take care of myself, which includes dieting, exercising and minimising stress. I joke that I've been on a diet since 1974, which is basically true.
-
Theatre is immediate, it's alive, you're there with the audience, it can't be done again and again and again and again, it's organic.
-
I sort of have a love affair with my work. Many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.
-
As I get older, I find that cardio is less important to me. What I want to do more of is intense stretching.
-
I like to step outside of what people's idea of me might be. I suppose that makes me a bit of a rule-breaker. I like to take chances.
-
I always assumed that like my mother before me, one day I would have children.
-
Looking good has never been the most important thing to me. Maybe it's because I'm more conventionally, um, acceptable, so it's not an issue for me. I don't know.

I've learned that I can't have a packed work schedule and a packed social schedule and a packed personal life; I need to just have time to myself to sit and breathe and unwind.
-
I don't want to be in boardrooms talking about hiring hairdressers and minivans. I'm not good at it, and I don't like to hire and fire people. I hate that. It's horrible.
-
What I wear is a reflection of where I am going and how I am feeling. If I'm in a good mood, it's got to be cashmere and jeans - just something comfy, soft and warm. When I'm down, I might find something that I haven't worn for a while that was bought for me - or wear a brooch or a pair of shoes that are like old friends.
-
I wanted to understand pain and the human condition, which is full of pain and regret and sadness - and some happiness, if you're lucky.
-
If I only did theatre I would have had to waitress, and I didn't want to waitress.
-
Theatre can't be done again and again and again and again - it's organic.

I actually think 'Sex and the City' helped share how complicated it all is, to be a wife, a mother, and working, and a sexual being.

I've seen some women who are not particularly attractive but they have an assurance, and there's something so attractive about someone who doesn't have to work so hard.
-
I'm not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.
-
I haven't played a lot of wallflowers but I have played women who have been vulnerable.
-
I found a lot of guys my age and older were absolutely terrified of me. Younger men weren't.
-
Once you have a child, that becomes your life, and while that's the way it should be, I sort of have a love affair with my work. Having said that, many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.
