Love makes no sense at all. But it's the most powerful and amazing force in the entire universe.
The best thing I have is the knife from Fatal Attraction. I hung it in my kitchen. It's my way of saying, Don't mess with me.
It always amazes me to think that every house on every street is full of so many stories; so many triumphs and tragedies, and all we see are yards and driveways.
There's something about a catharsis that is very important.
We were fortunate enough to have several good books detailing the camps and the women. Some were by the survivors. I also got to talk to some of the women who had been in the camp, survivors.
I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated.
With the hugely talented women I've worked with or observed, it's not a question about temperament or ego; it's a question about getting it right. If they've got a reputation for being difficult it's usually because they just don't suffer fools.
When they tested Fatal Attraction, the audiences were so upset by her behavior, they literally demanded her blood.
I'm an actor, that's my contribution.
Diva has a negative connotation.
It's gotten out of control. It's taking bigger and bigger names to make smaller and smaller films. I worry that important films without a big name attached won't get made at all.
Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.
I am extremely shy. I am not happy in crowds of people.
It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at every little thing you do.
There are a lot of big spec houses now all across Connecticut, a lot of ostentatious showing of wealth.
I had a dresser who literally squeezed me in like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
I get bored talking about myself, but I can talk about the work.
I've been sacrificing my life for my work for 30 years, and now I want it the other way around. I want to find work that fits into my life and that would be based here.
I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.
I don't think the tabloids find me very interesting.
