I think gun manufacturers should start being afraid. You can't open an aspirin bottle if you're a kid, but you can fire a gun at someone.
gave jury rehearsal sat shot stuff table
We sat around that table in the jury room, and it really gave us a lot of rehearsal time. A lot of stuff that we shot was really rehearsal stuff.
real father people
It's funny when people ask if I'm a lesbian. I played a real estate agent in 'Father of the Bride, Part II,' but no one has asked me if I sell real estate.

The gun issue is a big, unresolved issue in this country right now. I think it's out of control

John Cusack is a dream. I did one one-on-one scene with him and we got to shoot it so many times, and he did it different every time.

I love improvisation.

Milk Duds kept me going.
