Sean`s a great, great writer.

If you`re happy, if you`re feeling good, then nothing else matters.

Even the busboys at the restaurants have a script to give you. Everybody is in the business.

We really enjoy entertaining our children with characters. We`ll act out all of The Wizard of Oz together.

It`s just poetry, beauty and love. How hard can that be to act?

I could not understand why Meryl Streep, for example, is allowed to work while pregnant and I`m not.

Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.

Unless you`re a star in this town, you`re really nothing.

I was technically a Valley Girl, even though I absolutely dreaded being called that. I really hated the idea that I was a Valley Girl.

My favorite designers are Levi Strauss and Fruit of the Loom.

I would have made a lousy stripper. I`m just not very comfortable exposing myself.

I turned down a lot of things that were so-called commercial. You`re coming out of one film, and then they want you to be in the same one.

Sometimes I think they should set up an asylum for people like that... a whole slew of paparazzi defending their positions.

I have always been a good mimic.

When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.

After every movie, I always kick myself for the same things-didn`t do enough, not enough variation, not enough interesting choices, too bland.

My mother gave me a sense of independence, a sense of total confidence that we could do whatever it was we set out to do. That`s how we were raised.

I`d rather attempt something I`m not sure I can do.

It`s what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it`s never been before. There`s nothing better than that.

It makes me believe in fate. In most cases, the readings where I`ve been really bad have usually been the ones where I got the part.

I used to ask Sean questions about acting. He`s a brilliant actor, but I could never digest his information. I work primarily on an intuitive level.

Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me.

I like movies that make you think.

I like the whole package to be good, It`s a rarity that that happens, so I end up not working a lot.

Everyone has the answers.

I am not successful, in terms of Hollywood.

Sean`s a better person when he`s directing. He becomes a queen when he`s an actor. And he`s so unhappy when he`s acting.

If you get enough sleep, cut back on cigarettes and red meat, you look better the next day.

I just love getting dirty.

I have such a little face.

No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.

I`ve always wanted to be able to let myself go over the edge.

Sean`s movies are provocative and challenging without being slick.

Is that romantic fantasy real? Um, after kids, no. Take the kids away, I don`t know. Depends.

I want to be perfect. I don`t want to fail. And you always fail.
