(While promoting Mona Lisa Smile (2003)) “I’ve realised that the only way to make movies that you’re proud of, that don’t fall into the sentimental bullshit that so many movies fall into, is to fight. You have to fight. So many people are willing to sleepwalk through things and fall into the not human, not interesting choice”.

I doubt it will be any kind of an intimate relationship. We always will have some closeness, but I think we have just a marriage of the minds, the two of us, and he’s great to work with (William Petersen). A bit of yin and yang in that relationship, for sure. [asked if Catherine’s relationship with Gil Grissom might ever turn romantic]

[on Madonna] Life will always be good as long as Madonna is around. I don’t think of her as a guilty pleasure anymore – she’s an outright pleasure. [In Style magazine, September 2006]
