“The constant attention is what is so difficult.”

Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.

I didn’t know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.

If I didn’t believe in what I’m doing, I’d rather go to work in a dime store.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don’t want to be that type.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

The times that I have done something that I didn’t respond to emotionally right away, it’s generally not worked out too well.

I didn’t like children. I didn’t think of myself as a child. I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I’ve been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I’m forced to go into in on every movie that I make.

I thought it was a wonderful line – right on the cutting room floor.

My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.

I’m just going to have to grow old, because I’m too terrified to have anything done.

I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.

At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

I’m not very bright about money. I’m not domestic either. If I don’t learn how to cook, maybe I won’t have to.

My own experience is that you get as much information as you can and then you pay attention to your intuition, to your informed instinct.

What you pay attention to grows. If your attention is attracted to negative situations and emotions, then they will grow in your awareness.

One can win the attention and time and cooperation of even the most sought-after people by becoming genuinely interested in them.

It is only too easy to catch people’s attention by doing something worse than anyone else has dared to do it before.

Don’t pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.

Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.

We are much like the nights sky, the big things draw our attention. But its the little things that really light us up.

Excellence in art is largely the result of attention to minutiae, and–prayer.
