If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.

It's essential for an actor to have a hobby for the time when the telephone doesn't ring.

If your movies don't perform, they just stop calling you.

The film world is a crazy place to be. You sit around all day waiting for the phone to ring. Are people talking about you or aren't they?

My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.

I get a phone call once every 18 months from some mad person who wants me to do something for less than no money and they give me about a week's notice. That's my film career, most of the time.

You can't wait and sit for the phone to ring, so I do theater.

You try to work with the director and your fellow actors to get somewhere, but other people are the judge of whether you hit that note right.

I've gone far in the movie business, but no matter how far I go, every time I pick up the phone to call Tom Hanks or Robin Williams, I wonder if they'll call me back. And you know what? Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.

I'm just an actress, so I can leave my work when I leave the set. I don't get strange calls in the middle of the night, and I don't have tons of responsibility.
