My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.

I want Maggie Gyllenhaal. I don't know why. I don't think she necessarily looks like me or acts like me I just think she's a cool actress and she could play me so there you go.

Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You're expected to drive the right car wear the right clothes and say the right things.

I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.

I remember when I first started in the business I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

As an actress emotions are my business my stock-in-trade. As such I've dealt with them nearly all my life.

I don't know what the secret to longevity as an actress is. It's more than talent and beauty. Maybe it's the audience seeing itself in you.

The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique.

A supermodel needed to be able to be on 'Sports Illustrated ' to be able to walk runways to be able to do beauty ads to be on covers. And the girls now can no longer be on covers and be in the ads because your actresses have taken over all the jobs. I don't know what happened but we want our jobs back.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress and I still do.

At the time 1980 people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear resentment and anger.

I think Gina Rowlands is an amazing actress.

I got to work with Jennifer Tilly she was amazing. Such such a smart actress.

I know plenty of actresses in their early thirties who look amazing although there's that old saying: 'Ladies get older men get more distinguished.'

I think that we're in a really amazing time where there are really a lot of really fantastic female actresses and comedians. I imagine there's just a lot of opportunity for women to have powerful roles. Or it's just that there's more women writing TV. Women tend to maybe write strong women.

I definitely look up to Meryl Streep because she's been in so many amazing movies and I just think that she's one of the greatest actresses out there. I also look up to Jennifer Lawrence especially knowing her and knowing that she is so awesome and so nice.

I love watching amazing actors and actresses that you can't take your eyes off of because everything they are doing - even if it is just twiddling their thumbs or scratching their eye - it's just interesting.

It's really sad looking at people like Lindsay Lohan. She's an amazing actress but you see what happens when people know too much about your personal life. They start not being able to look at you the same way professionally. I don't want that to happen to me.

It was really fun being in Tara's trailer working on my lines. Tara is such an amazing actress. She's so good at what she does. I learned a lot from watching her.

Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.

I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.

Another thing that's pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.

I would point out that I'm an actress for a reason! If I were popular in high school I would have considered another career because I wouldn't have been alone in my room making up other characters for myself. I definitely had growing pains. The popular kids didn't want anything to do with the girl who was starting the drama club.

Sally Field looks amazing in general never mind her age! She's a phenomenally talented actress and has had a career spanning so many decades.
