My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.
A woman can plan when to have her family and how to support a family.
This is not about abortion or the antics. This is about pro choice versus anti-choice and government intervention in a woman's personal decisions about her life.
I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there is a man who doesn't look at me, it's because he's gay.
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.
I am certainly a liberal.
I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.
I often play women who are not essentially good or likable, and I often go through a stage where I hate them. Then I end up loving and defending them.
I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate.
I rent houses in LA when I'm filming. I find the isolation there terrifying. There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to be with people. I'm not a beach bunny.
Being a sex symbol has to do with an attitude, not looks. Most men think it's looks, most women know otherwise.
I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me.
As I traveled from one country to another, no one knew anything about me. So I could be anybody, I could speak as I wished, act as I wished, dress as I wished.
At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers.
Crimes of Passion, which is one of the best films I've done, will live strongly in my resume, even though it didn't do well.
Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't.
I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood.
I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move.
I don't believe in simply accumulating money, but I have the luxury to say that, because I have enough for all my needs.
I figured as I got older, the good roles for women would be in the theatre. So 15 years ago I started building a Broadway career to try and develop the chops to be accepted as a great theatrical actress.
