Having been an actress before becoming a producer has helped, because I realize the needs

The thing I loved about Alfred Hitchcock is that he left a lot of open ends there, a lot of clues that didn't really add up the way you think they would, and sometimes, not at all.

I was always opinionated.

For every answer, I like to bring up a question. Maybe I'm related to Alfred Hitchcock or maybe I got to know him too well, but I think life should be that way.

I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.

I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.

If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.

Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same

In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.

In school the kids thought I was freaky because I made straight A's and daydreamed a lot

I suppose I learned organization from Altman.

But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.

I like to pick my own vegetables.

Two months later at a party, Bernard pulled me into a closet and proposed. I said yes.

Theres nothing that can beat the feeling of doing a movie or a TV show that makes everyone feel good.

I'm not afraid of aging.

I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.

Making it big in this world is such a rip-off, you gotta keep your head together or it can be totally without meaning

Pigs are not that dirty. And they're smart, strange little creatures. They just need love.
