I'm an actress, and that's why I'm still here. Anybody who has the illusion that you can have a career as long as I have and be a star is kidding themselves.
People often refer to my career before The Crying Game as something which led up to that point. But I was very fulfilled in what I was doing.
Earlier in my career, I was really tight, really together, and knew who I was and I was confident. I kind of feel in between now.
I couldn't stop looking at the award when I received it. It was as if my whole career flashed in front of me, from beginning to the moment I was handed the Golden Globe.
I had a passion to not be a secretary forever. I was mindful of the customary career trajectory, and I knew I had to do something remarkable.
I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.
I feel like I'm really young and I'm only thinking about my career and continuing playing.
The energy that comes when you compel people to dance stays with you your whole career - whether you are playing to 100,000 people at Glastonbury or 1,000 kids in a club.
I came out the box and for seven years I had a huge career. And then it's done, it's dumped. But I ain't gone, and I refuse to be gone.
I think a British icon is someone who conducts themself with real dignity: someone who is truly talented and modest. These are things that I would aspire to in my career.
I don't want to look back at my career and see a string of incredibly commercial projects that don't have much heart. I'm looking for things that have soul.
It doesn't bother me one iota that most of my career has been playing people who are not that - well, let's say that people wouldn't aspire to be like them.
I do think that, for instance, we've been very lucky to have theatrical careers and be associated with Shakespeare which sometimes gives you a kind of bogus kudos.
My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me.
I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.
I was called Matt Dillon's brother my whole career basically until 'Entourage' broke me free of that and now people call me Johnny Drama instead.
For myself, Queer Eye feeds more to my heart and my soul than as a platform for a career.
You have people who can't act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She's made a career out of it.
I've always been a workaholic. I reckon, on average, I've had less than one day a year off in my working career.
The reason I haven't had kids yet is because I was so focused on my acting career, hoping I could get something to break.
I don't really look for specific types of projects any more. I'm not taking care of a career anymore. I'm just having fun acting.
