My life choices are not supposed to be the gateway to somebody else’s. That’s my journey.
And people say it all the time: ‘You’re a celebrity.’ No, I’m an actor. I’m a producer. I’m a director. I’m a toad. I’m roadkill. I’m anything but a celebrity.
I always like worlds where you could be in several different time periods.
I took the stairs and felt like my childhood took the elevator.
Young girls come up to me all the time to ask for advice. They see me as a survivor.
It’s embarrassing to go through any rebellious stage in front of people that you love and respect, and yet I’m glad I did.
One thing that got me started on it was the jean jacket. It’s an item that could make you believe you’re in the 50s or punk-rock 70s or grunge 90s. I was really focused on timelessness, and I think music is very timeless.
From my perspective, there’s no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you’re lucky! The alternative is death.
I cry a lot. I’ll cry because I see a person walking down the street looking lonely.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve really wanted to find more balance and calm.
I loved Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” – it was really sexy and naughty and totally weird. When you’re a kid watching that stuff on television you’re like, “Well, we are opening up as a society!”
I have no regrets in my life whatsoever.
I’m a real stay-at-home mom. I’m really hands-on. Everything else became secondary.
I still can’t spell anything, but I can bust out two-dollar words.
Some of the mini-worlds that filmmakers have created are so ingrained in my love of culture.
But in some ways, I’m like an old woman – lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.
I really wanted a wonderful, traditional home for my kid.
I would love to be a travel writer. I’d be so stoked.
I try to be a good shiksa wife. I go to Central Synagogue in New York.
I’m very homework-oriented – I’m a little Tracy Flick-ish.
