I have a gigantic ego and need to be at the top of the pile and be doing amazingly well; also, at the same time, I'm just pleased to be anywhere.
I've been watching what I eat. When I was putting on all the weight, I was drinking Guinness and not eating. I didn't have room to because I was drinking all the time.
I've lived in L.A. for a long time, and they say, 'If you sit in a barber's shop for long enough, you will get a hair cut.' Well, if you live in Los Angeles for long enough, you're going to get some surgery.
Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame.
Rob Lowe, I've known him for a long time because I have three daughters, ya know. He's been cruising those three girls for a long time.
Jill and I arrange our lives to spend a lot of time together. That makes us both happy.
But I have the satisfaction, at the same time, to reflect that the impression to be made depends upon the consistency of the charge and the motives of the prosecutors.

A young woman in her teens has about 300,000 eggs in her ovaries. By the time she is menopausal, none are left.

I only ever play Vegas one night at a time. It's a hideous, gaudy place; it may not be the end of the world per se, but you can certainly see it from there.
I have a difficult time doing an Irish accent; even now, it kind of fades slowly into Scottish.
One of my favourite actors of all time, although he doesn't necessarily play villains, is Peter Lorre.
I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.
I have Spanx on. Always! I have to wear them all the time!
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
