There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth.
I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
I think it is typical for many men to have problems when their wives make more money then they do, or when their wives are higher on the corporate ladder than they find themselves. I think that often is an issue.
I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.
When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no. Come on... Her, again?' You know. But, whatever.
I had a number of great teachers and the ones that really were the strongest influences on me were women. They were really, really smart and interesting women.
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
I just think that we're all trying to make ourselves emaciated, in order to pretend that we're all disappearing, as we move forward in every level of society and it's so frightening. This is all a big reaction to the fact that there are more women in medical school than there are men now and I am pretty sure it will be the same soon in law schools and in business.
I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
The first thing [in career and motherhood] is a great husband. That I found many years ago and I am lucky in that way.
When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don't have a cook now, I haven't had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone's homework at the end of the day and make dinner.
I don't have very much interest in trends and fashions. I don't follow the fashion shows and stuff like that into my real life. But I'm very, very interested in how people put themselves together, how women and men announce themselves to the world, through what they put on their bodies. Whether we choose Birkenstocks or whether we choose Burberry - it all signifies something and it's really interesting to me.
Well, I got better after this, and my entire family really did appreciate it. Usually, they're resentful of movies that I go off and make, but this one had a bonus attached. But yeah, she had no breath.
The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.
I've grown up well, partly because there weren't great girls' literature - Nancy Drew, maybe - but there weren't things. So there was Huck Finn and "Spin And Marty." The boys characters were interesting and you lived through them when you're watching it.
I feel very strongly that we make decisions about what we're giving to the world, what we're withholding from the world, by virtue of what we put on our bodies.
You're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Earl Blackwell finally died, and I was on his blacklist every year for being the worst dressed person.
The idea that people do very bad things for sometimes very good reasons, feels reasons.
It's sort of my fun to sing along with records and imitate people who are on the telephone that have different ways of speaking.
The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is.
Women are the last group anyone cares about in Hollywood.
I separated myself in Prada because I didn't want to have fun. They were all having a lot of fun - Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci - and they were a little coterie of laughs.
I have four to five months, tops!, per year to give to my acting work.
