I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'
— Robin Wright
I'm ready to do a Woody Allen comedy.
Entertainment and escapism - those are the bigger money-making films today.
Now that my kids are out of the house, I'm finally able to get to the classics I never read: Emily Bronte, Dylan Thomas, Joseph Heller's 'Catch-22.' It's endless. They're all in this gigantic pile next to my bed.
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
I'm worried that the audience is being conditioned. That's my real fear. Because if they don't want to see wrinkles on the screen, if they actually fear looking at them, then it's only going to get worse. Those of us who don't want to shoot up and cut and sew, we're just not going be cast.
I grew up very fast as a young girl, but I grew slowly into my womanhood.
I can't imagine having long hair anymore; it's weird.
Running gets everything done, doesn't it? Covers it all.
Would I marry again? No. But never say never. Why marry? It's a beautiful fortress, but I don't need it.
I'm not in the business of talking about what 'isn't.'
D.C. is more corrupt than Hollywood. It really is.
I can't imagine going back to long hair. Cutting it was the greatest thing I ever did.
Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating.
Everyone has the answers.
Unless you're a star in this town, you're really nothing.
My favorite designers are Levi Strauss and Fruit of the Loom.
I loved Europe so much.
I always loved to dance and move. I probably should have been a mime or something like that.
People buy box sets, and they sit for a whole weekend with a computer on their lap in bed, and they watch two seasons back-to-back of a show. They are invested in the person within that arc or the dynamics of those people - the relationships - and it doesn't matter to them if they're watching it on an iPhone or a cinema screen.
Just lying in my big bed with Frette sheets. Oh my god, there's nothing better.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
I just pray I can keep working. I just pray I grow old gracefully.
I didn't want to raise my kids in this weird, sycophantic society. If you have celebrity parents, it's not a good recipe for the kids, or anyone at any age.
I love my life.
I have Spanx on. Always! I have to wear them all the time!
All marriages have their phases.
Love is possible as life is possible.
If you're the head of a business, there's a protocol that people have to follow.
I have a house here in California and come back every month and a half to see my kids. And they come to New York.
Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.
Sean's a better person when he's directing. He becomes a queen when he's an actor. And he's so unhappy when he's acting.
No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.
If you're happy, if you're feeling good, then nothing else matters.
I never used to want rehearsals, because I was like, 'Oh, no. I'm more spontaneous. I'm a natural. I'm a one-take person.' But that was because I didn't have any training. I was going off instinct.
With 'House of Cards,' you really get the heart and the meat of drama - and it's a thriller!
I wouldn't be a good model for any designer's idea of what fashion is.
I'm really trying to be in the now - that's so spiritual and stuff. It's just so much more pleasant and sane.
Hollywood is difficult to navigate if you have integrity, so I opted not to work if there wasn't enough to do in a role, which doesn't have to do with the role's size.
For actors in Hollywood, it's very straightforward. We're well-paid animals in a zoo.
Maybe I'm a control freak.
I'm trying to do the paleo diet. No carbs.
What I'm looking for in people now is kindness.
I never went to college. I was pregnant at 23.
It took me a long time to grow up.
I think we manifest the very thing we put out. If you're putting out negativity, then you're going to retrieve that same sentiment. If you emanate joy, it comes back to you.
I've been so anti-tattoos my whole life.
I have such a little face.
I want to be perfect. I don't want to fail. And you always fail.
It's just poetry, beauty and love. How hard can that be to act?
