Change is never easy.

I really like cable T.V.

I've had such an odd career.

I've never had my heart broken.

I haven't had an orthodox career.

Fear is where the information is.

Get over it. Get on with your life.

I always wanted to be a great actor.

I had to let my ego go a long time ago.

Last year I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.

I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.

I've done some good work and some not-good work.

I didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.

You can't help but feel all the human-rights issues.

I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!

I came from a real working-class show business family.

The whole world is waiting. The whole world needs you.

Never, ever, have I felt really accepted in Hollywood.

I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.

You know, people really don't understand what actors do.

I'm highly emotional, so I'm highly aware of humiliation.

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.

People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?

You try to get rid of the things that are weighing you down.

I MUST go to what desperately frightens me - the chance of failure.

'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.

I'm an actor. I'm trying to be the character and do what they're doing.

I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

What does the Academy Award mean? I don’t think it means much of anything.

My agent said, 'You aren't good enough for movies.' I said, 'You're fired.'

My agent said, "You aren't good enough for movies." I said, "You're fired."

I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.

I'm looking for a bunch of new tchotchkes that represent the new part of my life.

You just do the best you can with what you've got... and sometimes magic strikes.

I have a tendency to think of myself as the mutt of the litter. I'm not purebred.

If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any goddamn wars in the first place.

There are some actors who are my contemporaries who I think of as purebreds and I'm not.

I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.

I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.

To watch how lovingly your children parent their own children is to know profound achievement.

When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, "Congratulations, you have an actor!"

I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.

When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, 'Congratulations, you have an actor!'

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.

There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don't have anything to do with my nose.

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

Don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.

When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.

The Oscars are really nice, but the best part is that I had the opportunity to do that kind of work.
