All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene.
From Meryl Streep
We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8.
Everything we say signifies; everything counts, that we put out into the world. It impacts on kids, it impacts on the zeitgeist of the time.
Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived.
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.
