"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 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."
