"You never have sex the way people do in the movies. You don't do it on the floor, you don't do it standing up, you don't always have all your clothes off, you don't happen to have on all the sexy lingerie. You know, if anybody ever ripped my clothes, I'd kill them."— Interview with The Daily Mail regarding The Hourshttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-153025/Women-nicer-kiss-says-Julianne.html

"Only five people got nominated in that category, and that's not very many people. So I did all right." — about losing the 2000 Best Actress Oscar.
