I'm not a practice religion freak. I didn't grow up in a religious family, but I have a faith.Collection: Religion
I'm trying to do the paleo diet. No carbs.Collection: Diet
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.Collection: Independence
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.Collection: Imagination
If you're happy, if you're feeling good, then nothing else matters.Collection: Health
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.Collection: Money
Is that romantic fantasy real? Um, after kids, no. Take the kids away, I don't know. Depends.Collection: Romantic
It's just poetry, beauty and love. How hard can that be to act?Collection: Poetry
If you're the head of a business, there's a protocol that people have to follow.Collection: Business
Love is possible as life is possible.
I'm not in the business of talking about what 'isn't.'
All marriages have their phases.
Would I marry again? No. But never say never. Why marry? It's a beautiful fortress, but I don't need it.
What I'm looking for in people now is kindness.
I have Spanx on. Always! I have to wear them all the time!
Running gets everything done, doesn't it? Covers it all.
Maybe I'm a control freak.
I didn't want to raise my kids in this weird, sycophantic society. If you have celebrity parents, it's not a good recipe for the kids, or anyone at any age.
I'm worried that the audience is being conditioned. That's my real fear. Because if they don't want to see wrinkles on the screen, if they actually fear looking at them, then it's only going to get worse. Those of us who don't want to shoot up and cut and sew, we're just not going be cast.
Hollywood is difficult to navigate if you have integrity, so I opted not to work if there wasn't enough to do in a role, which doesn't have to do with the role's size.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
I'm really trying to be in the now - that's so spiritual and stuff. It's just so much more pleasant and sane.
Just lying in my big bed with Frette sheets. Oh my god, there's nothing better.
Now that my kids are out of the house, I'm finally able to get to the classics I never read: Emily Bronte, Dylan Thomas, Joseph Heller's 'Catch-22.' It's endless. They're all in this gigantic pile next to my bed.
I wouldn't be a good model for any designer's idea of what fashion is.
People buy box sets, and they sit for a whole weekend with a computer on their lap in bed, and they watch two seasons back-to-back of a show. They are invested in the person within that arc or the dynamics of those people - the relationships - and it doesn't matter to them if they're watching it on an iPhone or a cinema screen.
Entertainment and escapism - those are the bigger money-making films today.
I always loved to dance and move. I probably should have been a mime or something like that.
I'm ready to do a Woody Allen comedy.
I never used to want rehearsals, because I was like, 'Oh, no. I'm more spontaneous. I'm a natural. I'm a one-take person.' But that was because I didn't have any training. I was going off instinct.
I loved Europe so much.
I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'
Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.
I remember calling directors numerous times and saying, 'Oh, you should cast so-and-so instead of me. They're much better for the role.'
I run, lift weights and do yoga to stay in shape.
The best part of shooting 'House of Cards' in Baltimore is eating lots of soft-shell crab.
Dark chocolate-covered blueberries are my favorite sweet.
My son graduated high school and went to Haiti to work for his dad's organization and then extended his stay. It's incredible what he's doing.
It's just never been in my nature to go out there and go on a red carpet to say, 'Oh, publicize me!'
I don't know enough about politics. I am out of the loop.
I wish I were stronger in areas. Not so consumed or distracted.
I really wanted to be a mom. I didn't want my kids to be raised by a nanny, which would have been the case if I were working two movies in a year, you know? And I would have been hospitalized with fatigue.
I'm not exactly the type of actress who does half a dozen films a year.
I met an agent through my modeling agency who encouraged me to go out and audition for sitcoms, and I was absolutely petrified because I had no desire to do it.
As an actor, I had noticed very vividly that very few directors know how to direct actors because they haven't done it.
I don't want to always be the tortured, soulful wife.
Oh my God, Zumba is the greatest invention ever for women. I like to exercise, though I do nothing consistently because I get bored and impatient. With Zumba, you're dancing, you're moving your hips. So much fun.
You're never going to be able to delve into the character traits of a Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.
If 'American Beauty' came out today, it wouldn't make nearly as much money.
I honestly don't want to act anymore.
