I have a theory that there's almost this primal viewpoint on women in the business, that once you're beyond childbearing age, you are perceived as nonthreatening, nonsexual, noncastable. Sure, I already knew it before I got into it. I just didn't know I'd end up making my living from low-budget, independent films.
Working on 'King Of Texas' was a life experience for me.
The people who stood out in the Sandy Hook incident, the heroes, were the normal, ordinary people who went to save those children.
There are certainly a billion, ker-trillion girls out there more attractive than I am.
I just never wanted to be too much in the background. I always wanted to be a part of things.
I love physical comedy. I adore comedy of any kind.
I played Laura Bush in a Tony Kushner piece, and afterward, I think my phones got tapped.
If you think someone committed a crime, you should turn them in to whomever you perceive authority to be.
In my opinion, Zac Efron is a total hero. Him seeking help encourages other people with addictive issues to seek help. It's brave of him.
In 2005, I had the great honor of playing Shailene Woodley's mother in 'Felicity: An American Girl Adventure.' I was immediately impressed by her work ethic, both on and off set.
I think to visualize failure as you're starting off is really a bad thing to do.
I was always an exhibitionist. I liked it when everyone laughed. But I didn't do plays in high school. I was too nervous.
I think irrationality is one of the scariest things in the world.
I think in terms of family, in terms of relationships, in terms of work, competition to be the favorite, to be the noticed, to be the one - I don't know if it exists for all personalities, but I know for sure it did with me.
