Heroes list of the 100 Years of the greatest screen heroes and villains quote I enjoy hats and when one has filthy hair that is a good accessory I'm too tall to be a girl I never had enough dresses to be a lady I wouldn't call myself a woman I'd say I'm somewhere between a chick and a broad my real hair color is kind of a dark blonde now I just have mood hair in a 1998 interview I've sort of grown into my cuteness about President George W Bush's daughters being caught with alcoh alol is minor we all need to take a deep breath and think about being a bush daughter and having that cross to bear I'd go out and have a couple of drinks too about forgetting to include the real life Aaron brovich Ellis in her Academy Award acceptance speech it doesn't bring out the Einstein moment that you hoped it would you know I'm like a total geek right first of all I sit on the set and knit it's a very social hobby as opposed to reading at work I can chat with people and still be fully engaged about President George W bush he's embarrassing he's not my president he will never be my president I'm just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job on the essence HR job I get dressed up like a doll a nice man puts lipstick on my lips and I say words it's deeply satisfying and why she will never do a nude scene I just don't feel that my algebra teacher should ever know what my butt looks like you can be true to the character all you want but you've got to go home with yourself interview in People Magazine August 2nd 99 the first time I felt I was famous was when I went to the movies with my mom I had gone to the L and someone in the bathroom said in a very loud voice girl install number one were you in Mystic Pizza 1988 I paused and I said yeah that was me I think it's dangerous to talk in the big generalities of sexism and agism and facelif isms you really have to speak only from your own experience and my experience so far has been ridiculously nice yeah do the boys get paid more yes but do we all get paid too much yes I'm confused at what I'm supposed to complain about I wouldn't do nudity in films to act with my clothes on is a performance to act with my cloth off is a documentary it's Heaven truly we were rehearsing one day and we had just moved into the theater and it was dark out here and I was on stage and all of the sudden I hear Mama and Hazel had come in and in the dark just to hear this little voice and it's incredibly amazing I think one of the smartest things I ever did for my career was not working for 2 years in the early '90s I was being offered a lot of different movies but I just didn't see the point of any of them people would say to me how can you just be passing on all those things and my response was tell me a movie you've seen in the past year that I should have made about her success I'm just a girl from a little town in Georgia who had this giant absurd dream on Clive Owen George Clooney is obsessed with Clive every good guy actor talks about Clive as one of their favorites because he's English because his successes have stood on the shoulders of his talents alone and because he hasn't been Carried Away by popular culture I'm tall and smart if you're aggressive and energetic it can be intimidating for people who aren't very smart themselves we are happy as clams I am fulfilled by my own life on an hourly basis every little moment is amazing if you let yourself access it I learned that all the time from my kids children are so filled with wonder my youngest son woke up at 5:00 a.m. the other morning and said to me it's a beautiful day Mama what's more precious than that I say you can call me but I don't necessarily call everybody back now I'm not off the market but my decision-making has more components than it used to on meeting Eat Pray Love 2010 director Ryan Murphy I felt totally under his spell we're sort of like best girlfriends now I believe that the way you feel about your life will eventually show up on your face on lar Crown 2011 this was my first college experience and the first time I had to speak in front of a classroom I was apoplectic all these faces looking up at me thinking what is she going to teach us I needed to find my composure it was very hard it was terrible in fact it's not just great teachers that shape your life sometimes it's the absence of great teachers being ignored can be just as good for a person as being lotted on being asked how she developed her role as the nasty Queen in Mirror Mirror 2012 The Untold Adventures of Snow White 2012 well I'm happy to announce that she's not inside me but without naming names I drew from a couple of people I know better than I wish I did and found it very fun and helpful on how she manages Fame and family family values that's actually values in general that's all there is Fame is just a Summer Breeze that comes and goes but to have a Bedrock of knowing who you are that's what it's all about on working with Merl stre I've never seen anyone work harder than she does she doesn't just snap her fingers and be a genius to work with Merl stre is a dream come come true for anyone to know her is an honor she is such a beautiful person and it was intimidating certainly to be in these scenes with her choking her and things like that were not how I pictured it going in my mind all these years I thought we'd be together having tea and speaking fabulous accents all dressed up but there we were I'm sweating and have on a big but pad Merill sees not only what I need as an actor but what I need as a girl in the world she provides that all the time no wonder she sleeping she's exhausted after taking care of me on filming August oage County 2013 here's the thing here's the Crux of the biscuit if you will we worked our asses off because there was no other way to do it I've never worked so hard in my life and I've given birth to three children it was like a mountain to climb every single day and the only way to climb it we discovered was holding hands whether we liked it or not on James gandalin if there was ever a friend I can only smile when I think of even when it is through tears it is James my friendship with him was invisible the sparest amount of notes or tangible signs that we shared some of our life experiences together the evidence is only within my heart and a handful of cards some photographs the same could I realize be said for his acting it was invisible sitting down with my husband who was also a friend of James recently to watch enough said 2013 one realized how skillful masterful really James was he so completely inhabits the part of Albert that the heartsick feeling I had at seeing James gave way to interest in the replied of Albert amazing Julia Lou dfus is transcendent in this film and it is so simple and delicate and their relationship is funny and authentic and suddenly poof the film was over I felt so sad sitting there still but realized I was smiling because of course he was once again invisible I would like to work with Johnny Depp I've known him a long time I think he's so interesting and I think we look alike in a funny way so Johnny Depp Johnny Depp and I will play brother and sister in Something I Don't Know what I've already said about I love trouble 1994 other than that it was a piece of it's no secret than Nick and I didn't get along like a house on fire the older you get the more fragile you understand life to be I think that's good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day not performing nude you know not to be criticizing others choices but for me to not take off my clothes in a movie or be vulnerable in physical ways is a choice that I guess I make for myself but in effect I'm choosing not to do
