along came chance character funny gave outrageous quite script
The script came along and it was funny and it gave me the chance to play an outrageous character and I've never done anything before quite like her,
real character thinking
Think of anger as a muscle. The way you express anger isn't the way that I do, or you. If you have a good director, you will find that he's getting you to use an entirely different muscle that you never even knew you had - it's real hard and sore, then after a while it becomes normal. And you discover all these new muscles when you enter a new character - that's what a director does for you.

I like playing that character who brings love to people, who puts people in a place where they're apt to encounter love.

It is extraordinary how the house and the simplest possessions of someone who has been left become so quickly sordid. Even the stain on the coffee cup seems not coffee but the physical manifestation of one's inner stain, the fatal blot that from the beginning had marked one for ultimate aloneness.
cultural decade discord split
The '60s may be idealized in the movie from a cultural point of view, but the decade was all about discord and a big generational split that was very painful.
determine presents
What we view in the media - and who presents it to us - does so much to determine how we think, how we feel about ourselves, and how we view the world.
beyond women
I am blessed beyond reason with women friends.
given
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.
bus plan speak vacuum
I would be a distraction--and the vacuum has been filled. That said, I plan to speak out and write some op-ed pieces, but no bus tour.
