"My parents have always been cool. They even became surrogates to friends of mine who didn't have such supportive parents."
"I didn't know box office was a thing you could possess but I don't have it. I go up for lovely roles and people with this nebulous thing called box office get them so there isn't much I can do about that unless you know where I can get some box-office myself!"
"I couldn't get any of the ingenue roles when younger because at 5 feet 9 inches with a deep voice I was always too... genue. My career has completely happened since I was 29."
"I really needed to have something in my life, because I realized there were other things more important than my career. So I love having my children and my family."
"My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to, but a tough one."
