"Humor is intelligence. Humor is so important in your life. And it`s so important to know that you can always fall back on it, even when things are just going in the most spiraling downhill."

"Sometimes it takes the truth a little longer to cross the finishing line. When people start finding out the truth, they all turn around. It`s all about time. You have to have patience."

"It`s something many actresses had back then. When they had it, they had it, this kind of glint. It was something in their eyes, something in their intonation. They always caught you off guard."

I`m a very determined businesswoman... I`ve got lots of things to do, and I don`t have time to be classified as difficult, and I don`t have time.

My hand still shakes when I sign autographs. I still go and sit in the movies like everyone else and look up there and go "God! Movie stars! Wow!" And I`m in this business. I walk out there just fascinated and I always want to stay like that. I`m just a little kid going to these movies and I don`t ever want to change.

I love to be nervous before a scene.

I`m not a real social person - I`m shy - and a lot of the business is just social.

There`s no doubt that becoming a mother was the greatest thing I`ll ever do.

I work in a strange business, and trust is a word that`s not even in the vocabulary.

My priorities had been changing before I had Addie but after she was born they changed completely. I don`t count - my daughter sort of owns me.

I remember that Jack Lemmon, who is one of my favorite actors of all time, says that the day he stops being nervous is the day he should leave the business.

I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road.

I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she`ll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.

I`m a very determined person.

You have to be a little unreal to be in this business.

You lose your anonymity just like a helium balloon with a string. Therefore people are going to have their own opinion and they`re going to write in whatever clever manner they desire.
