I always wonder about people's history and their lives, especially people that are a little bit more distant, who obviously have had some kind of a thing and you know there's some reason why they're not able to connect. It's not because they don't want to. They don't have the ability.
We want to be seen for who we really are, and each person has his own complex story and reasons for doing what they do.
He finds me and wants to have a baby with me, and there are problems, ... It wouldn't be a movie if there weren't dramatic problems, as my daughter tells me, my 8-year-old.
Do we need a wristband to listen to our governor? ... He represents all of us.
I thought it was very original. The story could have been very cheesy and sensationalized.
You have to have a wristband to listen to the governor? ... He represents all of us, right?
The reason, I think, is that Jean is not sympathetic. She's not a nice girl. She's not out to win people. I think that's why the movies never got made.
I find the reality of our emotional lives interesting.
I feel very lucky I don't have to be a critic.
I feel that certain things are best kept inside a family and not discussed with anyone else.
I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.
Having a life outside of movies is like pure oxygen. It makes the work more precious and informed.
Every person's opinion, in a way, does matter.
Critics have a responsibility to put things in a cultural and sociological or political context. That is important.
