Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.

It's not just in Hollywood that women run the risk of being passed by once they reach 50. It happens in real life, too.

I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.

I couldn't hold it together today. George Clooney asked me if I was OK, and I practically collapsed. I couldn't stop crying, I had to go off sobbing like an idiot.

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.
