• On American President George W. Bush: "He should have his own show. He's a very charismatic guy. He's funny. I really wish he wasn't running the country. I didn't want him to be elected, but I hoped he wouldn't do a bad job. I have to say it's been less than impressive."
• "It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet."
• "Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal."--describing herself.
• I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need. Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.
• "I was not particularly bright, I wasn't very athletic, I was a little too tall, odd, funny looking, I was just really weird as a kid."
• "Boredom is a great motivator." [on why she dates co-stars]
• "I freaked after DANGEROUS LIAISONS when I was being described as, you know, a vivacious beauty. I was pretty uncomfortable with that. I didn't see myself as a sexual creature." - Details. Dec. 1993.
