The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.

Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my family's cottage in Maine. It's on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing.

I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you're lucky if you get anything.

I feel like I'm one of the happiest people I know.

But I think Hillary Clinton is one of the most amazing women of this time.

I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.

To play Hillary Clinton? I'm kind of winging it. No, are you kidding me? I prepared obsessively. I mean, as much as I could in the time that I was given. Of course, with someone like Hillary Clinton, obviously, anything you want is on YouTube and at your fingertips there.

I have not spent years in therapy; I tried therapy in my mid-twenties, and it did not go very well. I just thought, 'This is so not for me. I would rather talk to one of my girlfriends.'

When my dad needed a shirt ironed, he would yell downstairs to my mother, who would drop everything and iron his shirt.

I get to play a lot of hysterics.

I'm not really high-strung now, but I was a very high-strung child.

I love stories that give me a perspective on how easy American life has become in the 21st century.

The network shows tend to be run, in general, in my experience, by committee, and it's hard for actors and writers to do their jobs.

I was never the ingenue, so hopefully that'll make it easier to age and still work. I know a lot of actors who are really dissatisfied with where they're at even though some of them are huge stars and I feel like, 'Oh, my God, you're at the top.' Something interesting will come. It always does. I have faith.

I like to work. I enjoy once a year, doing a film.

I'm usually called upon to play the dreary suicidal girl.

You know how a lot of people say they could go crazy? Well, I feel I live very close to that line.

I just love to make a whole roomful of people laugh.
