If you can write it, I can be it.
I love playing strong women, even if theyre nuts.
There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I'm sorry, I don't believe that's America.
I dislike when people try to pigeonhole me, when all I want is to do good work.
Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication.
I have kept working, even if Ive thrown off the big movies I used to do. I still have three or four wonderful little movies coming out.
I love what I do, so it's not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I'd be dead in a week.
I like to watch people. For example, people at the airport... What is interesting about them is that they dont know what they are like. People at airports are the most brilliant actors in the world, because their attention is elsewhere, and they are idiosyncratic. I like to imitate people. I walk behind them and imitate their backs.
I love coloring books. I keep some by my bed.
If you didn't know that I am an actress, I don't think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She's 16, so of course I bore her.
I've been invited to do a trio with a fantastic jazz guitarist and a harmonica player
I was doing bad movies as a day job. And it almost ruined my life for a while. But I have done 130-odd films, and only fourteen have been spooky ones. Im not spooky! I want life!
There were all these rumors about me... so I went indoors. No one saw me for years. And since I wasnt around, people believed what they wanted.
I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... Im a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.
As a teenager I studied opera, believe it or not. But I just couldn't catch on to it.
