I think everybody handles things very differently and you can conjecture, but until you're put in that situation, you really don't know.
When you're dying, you're liberated to do what you want to do. You give yourself permission. I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.
I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.
I don't think you should exploit your own pain.
We all have a limited amount and that it's a privilege to grow old. That's something that I think a lot of people have forgotten in this very fast-paced world where youth is overly celebrate.
I love to work in all sorts of different situations. I think you learn a lot, which is why I try not to approach something the same way, because it might not be appropriate, and then you can get lazy just out of boredom. So I love any approach.
People can't really place me. They're not really sure who I am. Sometimes they think I'm Helen Hunt. Sometimes they think I'm Laura Dern.
I think everyone's journey through this crazy, weird, wild, wonderful area of work named acting is really their own. And if you're going for something that isn't yours, you're wasting time. You could be focused on your own work instead of thinking about somebody else.
I've never been to Buffalo. And we're having a fantastic time here. I'm a little surprised by the turnout and a little overwhelmed. And thank you all so much. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come into your neighborhood. And we just want to say thank you.
I'm so surprised by the turnout today and a little overwhelmed, so thank you very much. How grateful we all are to be here and to thank you all for letting us invade your streets and film here. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come in to your neighborhoods and we just wanna say thank you.
If this movie threatens or challenges you, then there's something else you should look at. People are so scared to touch on these issues. The good thing about this movie is that it forces you to do that.
I have never been so impressed with anyone in rehearsal in my life as I was with her,
It is tough staying in touch with family and friends and trying to have a relationship, all of that stuff is hard. It takes a very special man to put up with it.
I've got my own demons to deal with.
