Actresses generally aren't allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isn't considered as versatile.
An actress spends a lifetime observing people. You build up a mental library. No, not a library. Make that a repository.
All that some actresses want is for people to take them seriously instead of caring about how they look.
People assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you're too old to play dumb.
I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.
I want to be the kind of actress where, if I'm in the press, I'm in for the right reasons - for my work. To be in the press about family drama is kind of embarrassing.
When I got 'Family Ties', I wasn't even thinking about being an actress. I thought I might become a window dresser.
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.
I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.
My dad is a director/producer and my mom is a dancer; she performed with Alvin Ailey, but I didn't even think about becoming an actress.
My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress.
When you're a young English person who wants to be an actress and you have dreams, you dream of being Vanessa Redgrave or Judi Dench.
Just to be working again as an actress and possibly doing TV would just be great. It's not about how big the role is.
Well, I was lucky in that my being an actress totally overshadowed my having some kind of a... legacy at Yale, so that was kind of great.
It's always a great day going to work with Ginnifer Goodwin; she's a fantastic actress and I learn so much from her.
We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
I really want to try to become a great actress when I get older and continue to do what I'm doing now.
I want people to look at my films and say 'Wow, she's a good actress', and I know I'll have to work hard for that.
I have a very down-to-earth father. My wife is an actress and famous herself is more down-to-earth than anyone I know.
I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.
I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.
