Well, like a don't have a cell phone. I do have a phone in my car but only a couple people have that number.
It's surprising, because a lot of what an actor does isn't about what you say, it's how you behave. The challenge is to fill in all the stuff behind it.
Well, I can be very relentless when I'm making a point and sort of alienate people. I really have to catch that.
It's interesting to know that Independence Day or the original Jurassic Park made all that money. But those are entirely different kinds of things.
I heard that chivalry was dead, but I think it's just got a bad flue.
And the insidious thing is that people will either see a movie because it did well last weekend or won't see it because it didn't do well.
I'm a sucker for a funny script. And then, as soon as I don't wanna be, one comes along and grabs me.
I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue.
When I wear high heels I have a great vocabulary and I speak in paragraphs. I'm more eloquent. I plan to wear them more often.
A l lot of films I've done are essentially about women who are finding their voice, women who don't know themselves well.
I realized it's not like an American talk show where it's seven minutes and then there's a commercial break. I had to do 20 minutes straight with this guy, and I could either walk off - which wouldn't be good - or try to disagree with him very respectfully.
Motherhood change me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do even though it takes a lot.
Some of these independent filmmakers are incredible.
I'm really not interested in event movies.
It was a catch 22 situation because neither Dennis or I are ever going to talk about the reasons for our divorce... it was all left to supposition. It's just par for the course, it's just the fame game anyway.
It's about managing all of those choices without feeling badly about rejecting some of them. I had to reorganize my priorities, really.
As a mom, I feel like I'm the most boring person in the universe.
The best thing about modern living is anaesthesia.
I have now been boxing and watching fights and it's so fun. If you watch fights with the right people, it's a really good time.
What brings people down is the same thing over and over.
And I like that Jack has a routine, which I never had, and now because I have one - because of him - I realise I thrive on it.
Acting is what I do. It's not what I solely define myself as.
And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn't make? If it's good, it stands up.
Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.
I don't ever remember there not being a Diane Keaton. I first saw her back in the days when everybody was wearing disco clothes and that's what it was. And then there was Annie Hall.
I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.
I like my job. I love my son.
I was grateful because I was surrounded by really lovely people at a very hard time in my life... so I was grateful to have this job.
I've played a heroin addict and a speed freak and dark characters throughout my career.
It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.
I've never taking anyone else's definition of myself as myself, so it wasn't as devastating as it could have been.
I can relate to the energies of your life being distributed in such a way that your life becomes out of whack. She's taken all of her energy of her life and put it into her career to the detriment of her life and I can relate to that... Sometimes I'm out of balance, I mean Kate's way out of balance.
My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.
We have some projects for me, but most of them are not for me. They ended up being some TV projects and Lost Souls which will be out soon. I have a great partner though - she does most of the work.
But I understand that people have this image of me from Sleepless in Seattle. I don't even think I did that character right, but that's the movie most people saw.
Neither of us, me nor Dennis, is cavalier about a breakup. We both behaved very honorably.
I wouldn't have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.
Jane's idea was to remove artifice and show people in the middle of passion by just letting it evolve before the camera. It's as if you're peering through a camera at the characters' private lives.
I think there's an ongoing effort involved in trying to get a bigger perspective , trying to let go of things that limit your capacity to love and be loved or your capacity to hear and to really speak.
And, I always wanted to be in 1920s Paris or Ancient Greece.
The flaw is the assumption that one audience will be representative of all audiences.
I still look at Jack and can't believe he's so happy and well adjusted and respectful of people. I know that's not all me - it's Dennis too - but it's really helped the other parts of my life too.
I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.
I'm doing this movie called Proof of Life with Russell Crow in Ecuador.
Well, y'know, I did a soap opera for a long time. A lot of it was so vapid, and you had to keep trying to make it about something that, generally, the words weren't about.
I've been in this business for years and I'm still befuddled by the ways of this town.
Not that I'm perfect but it turns out I have answers to some of the questions.
You can't rely on just romantic comedy rhythm.
I don't think we realise just how fast we go until you stop for a minute and realise just how loud and how hectic your life is, and how easily distracted you can get.
