Personal quotes
"You never have sex the way people do in the movies.
You don't do it on the floor, you don't do it standing
up, you don't always have all your clothes off, you
don't happen to have on all the sexy lingerie. You know,
if anybody ever ripped my clothes, I'd kill them."
"I wish
I could say I broke this kicking down the door at Paramount,
but I was running after my son." - said at the
GLAAD Media Awards in reference to her broken toe and
to the producers at Paramount who are allowing Dr. Laura
Schlessinger to have a TV show. Schlessinger angered
the gay community with her views on homosexuality."
"I was
a goody-goody. I was one of those kids who played by
the rules. I used to have to take people to the principal's
office. Isn't that awful?" - about how she was
as a child."
"Only
five people got nominated in that category, and that's
not very many people. So I did all right." - about
losing the 2000 Best Actress Oscar."
"I'm
looking for the truth. The audience doesn't come to
see you, they come to see themselves. "
"Now
that the FDA has legalized RU-486, it makes us feel
that politically the winds are blowing our way. But
if someone has a problem with reproductive freedom,
I won't even consider voting for them. George W. Bush
is anti-choice, and I really believe that should he
be elected, we will end up in a really difficult situation."
- her views on abortion and reproductive rights, October
2000"
"It
is the most wonderful experience of your life. It deepens
absolutely everything.You have a greater understanding
of things,so in a way it is a gift.For me it has made
everthing much better.I'm so happy; I am extremely fortunate."
(about her son Caleb and becoming a mother) "
"In
grade school, I was a complete geek. You know, there's
always the kid who's too short, the kid who wears glasses,
the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three."
"My
mother always says, I'd rather see you naked than dead."
"Fear
has always been a great motivator for me. There are
a lot of things I've done because I was afraid to do
them, so I thought I should."
"The
most important thing you can do for yourself as an actor
is have a real life."
