I didn’t really like doing commercials. You had to behave like you were on angel dust or something.
I don’t blame the people for the fact that so many movies are bad. I think there’s a corrupt, perverted, lazy and sloppy attitude that’s pervasive in the movie business. The whole entertainment business is kind of crumbling around us.

I just love to act. It’s my favorite thing to do in the world, and what keeps it interesting, to me, is the creative challenge. So, different kinds of characters, that’s what I just love to do.
I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely!
I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness.

It’s just a natural part of being a social creature and being a human being.
When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn’t like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing.
