I'm not a betting woman, but I have $50 on Secretariat with an old director friend of mine.

Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.

You don't want to wait for that aged jockey role.
'Secretariat' was such a magnificent animal, unbelievably beautiful and powerful. It's always nice to see something that close to perfection, a reason to celebrate.

I remember when I was about 18, Sean Penn made a bet with me. He had just directed his first movie, and he's like, 'By the time you're 30, I will bet you $500 that you'll be sick of acting.' I'm still waiting to collect, because I'm not.
