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

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 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.

A lot changed when I had Natasha. I’m a survivor.

Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don’t think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.

You sleep peacefully the night your fear of losing lifts up.

Our fears are alerts that something is important to us.

In extreme danger fear feels no pity.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we become fearless.

Only the weak rule through fear.

There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.

Your timeless self does not age and has no fear of the future. Contemplate your physical self and all its possessions, and practice laughing peacefully at it all.

You will learn to believe that happiness is the aim in life when anger, fear & hurt aren’t welcome.
