That's one thing I find about having children - it does unlock a door that separates you from other women who've had children.
I think it's very important to keep being frightened - if you're not frightening yourself, you should take a break. You need to keep experimenting. You also need to take time - that's how you do good stuff - layering and depth of knowledge.
I've always been fascinated by the way that children and animals suffer stoically in a way that I don't think adults do.
The quality of life decreases with heightened security.
I was an anorexic, beer drinking, class cutting, doodling, shoplifting, skater chick that was into nature, art class, and the beach.
I am half-Jewish, and yet really hadn't been brought up within the Jewish faith. So I had felt culturally Jewish, if that's possible, without really understanding it.
I don't like getting patted down and taking off my shoes at the airport.
Ambition can be a disease, and it feeds on itself.
I never had any desire to become a well-known actress.
I was always very curious about other people. I would always stare and my mother would say - just please close your mouth!
Every milieu has something ridiculous about it - film-making, the music world, painting - because people who take themselves seriously become funny pretty quickly.
I would have started writing a lot earlier if I hadn't been [Arthur Miller's daughter].
We all have to embrace the idea not to be worried about there being other women in the room. Gay men work with such solidarity.
