I've done some of my best work in films that fell right through the cracks, so I try to not make career moves but to build a body of work.

Celebrity status for me came slowly. I wasn't an overnight sensation. I had time to prepare emotionally.

With my coloring, I'm nothing in black and white. I've seen my films sometimes on black-and-white TV. Disaster.

Hollywood's fickle. It's always been that way, and it will always be that way. And it's always going to be somebody new and exciting comes along. That's just the way it works, and it will always work that way. And I think that if you give it everything to the exclusion of your own real life and family, you've sold yourself down the river.

I'm not Meryl Streep. My God - she's the greatest actor that ever lived. It's sad that ordinary actors like me are compared to her.

I loved growing up in a little town. I loved knowing people. I loved going to the store and running into people. I loved going into the store and having forgotten my bag, saying, 'Charge it, put it on my bill.' I loved going to the gas station and saying, 'Pete, fill it up.' I loved that continuity of life.

I don't have any regrets, bec...

I don't have any regrets, because I think life is like a creek. It kind of meanders along, and you instinctively do the things you are meant to do. There's no great plan except doing really good scripts, meeting great filmmakers. And I have to have something that I can bring to the role.

Film is an amazing art form, but so is life. When your career and your life can work together, and one can support the other, it's just great.

I think the movie business, you meet people, and you work intensely with them, and you have these relationships - there's an intimacy to it and a familiarity to the relationship because you're having to let go of all your barriers so you can let people in and work with them.

I love a lot of the '70s musicians, like Bonnie Raitt. And I love Sheryl Crow. But probably my favorite musician is a woman by the name of Schuyler Fisk.

You relate to a character and you find that character within yourself. It's all parts of me. I don't leave characters behind. I just let them go.

I think that we all fantasize about that teeny tiny time in the film industry when women ruled, back in the '40s.

My daughter is far more talented than me in the songwriting department - far more.

I think people in the north and the south and the east and the west, anywhere they come from, are just as interesting, and they're humans. They have the same realm of emotions that we all have. But I'm just more drawn to the Southern character and the different types, and Southern literature is so lyrical and so wonderful.

There are fewer roles, and I've done so many things already that I don't want to repeat, so to find something you haven't done is harder. I don't want to play a country singer again.

We like to believe we are in control of our destinies, even though we never are and we never have been.

If somebody wants to think of me as a movie star, that's fine, that's great. It sort of makes me giggle.

If I hadn’t left Texas, I might not have met the director Terrence Malick, and I wouldn’t have met my husband and I wouldn’t have had the children that I’ve had. Life is interesting like that.

I had a dozen years to act before starting a family then found that motherhood dwarfed everything else. Once or twice a year, I take a project that appeals to me for its redeeming social value.
