Friends are readily disappointed by the size of my closet. And I thought it was big!

I don't believe in email. I'm an old-fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up.

I expect I should be more calloused by now, but I am so sensitive about not ever living up to anybody's worst idea about an actor who is well-known.

I have a lot of responsibilities outside myself. I have a large family. I want to know I can always be helpful.

I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.

I tell my friends married life is boring, but that's just a fun thing to say to make single people feel better.

I wouldn't know how to be on Facebook if my life depended on it.

I'm less Pollyanna now. That's probably healthy.

If two people have only one thought between them, something is very wrong.

It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?

Most of my friends in New York are single women or gay men.

To be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?

What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.

I'm aware of people's association with me and fashion and I certainly take that role on for some occasions, but it doesn't dominate my thoughts all the time.

One of the things that's great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making.

We all live in a time where we're supposed to have choices and how do we wrangle that and how do we make the best choices for ourselves and our families. It has nothing to do with feminism.

I don't know how an actress is supposed to observe and create new stuff if she hasn't been on the streets, brushing up against humanity. You have to have a life.

I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there.

I still like getting dressed up and having the opportunity to borrow beautiful dresses, but as a mother - and as somebody who's schedule isn't always my own - I don't shop a lot, or think about clothes a lot.

I'm a bitter-ender. It's potentially my fatal flaw that I do not give up on something. I will not rest. I work and work and work until I can no longer and someone has to remove me from the premises.
