I work in a strange business, and trust is a word that’s not even in the vocabulary.
My priorities had been changing before I had Addie but after she was born they changed completely. I don’t count – my daughter sort of owns me.
I’m all for anybody having a party who wants that. The funny thing about me and birthdays or any kind of celebration where it brings attention to you in that way is that it’s never been anything that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed – even as a little kid.
I just want to thank everybody I’ve ever met in my entire life.
I love to be nervous before a scene.
I do things every day for my birthday. I’m just not a party girl.
I remember that Jack Lemmon, who is one of my favorite actors of all time, says that the day he stops being nervous is the day he should leave the business.
I’m not a real social person – I’m shy – and a lot of the business is just social.
That was the first time I knew I loved him.
Watching myself still makes me uneasy – and when you’re younger, you’re even more unforgiving.
I don’t have time to be classified as difficult, and I don’t have time to care.
I’m a very determined person.
Parents can be very influential in designing those little creepy-crawlers that jump around in your mind for the rest of your life. It’s the fear of not being good enough.
There are movies that I did and I know what I did and I know the story, and I don’t want to see that.
I grew up on soul music. I was a dancing little creep.
I’m my own worst enemy sometimes when I pick projects.
I’ve done so many dramas in my life, and people don’t even know I came from comedy.
I’m very sensitive to energy and people and life and animals and a lot of things.
I didn’t really like my birthday as a kid. My mother used to say, “Sometimes we’d have a birthday party and you would just wander off.” But she said it was just my way in the world. It wasn’t anything that I was truly interested in.
We need to listen more, to hear the silence and live in it.
