I just pray I can keep working. I just pray I grow old gracefully.
I really wanted to be a mom. I didn't want my kids to be raised by a nanny, which would have been the case if I were working two movies in a year, you know? And I would have been hospitalized with fatigue.
I remember calling directors numerous times and saying, 'Oh, you should cast so-and-so instead of me. They're much better for the role.'
I'm worried that the audience is being conditioned. That's my real fear. Because if they don't want to see wrinkles on the screen, if they actually fear looking at them, then it's only going to get worse. Those of us who don't want to shoot up and cut and sew, we're just not going be cast.
I'm trying to do the paleo diet. No carbs.
I'm the homemaker, and that's fine with me because I really like that.
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
I'd rather do 'She's So Lovely' that John Cassavetes wrote versus doing 'Batman.'
I'm not exactly the type of actress who does half a dozen films a year.
I'm not in the business of talking about what 'isn't.'
I met an agent through my modeling agency who encouraged me to go out and audition for sitcoms, and I was absolutely petrified because I had no desire to do it.
I'm ready to do a Woody Allen comedy.
I never used to want rehearsals, because I was like, 'Oh, no. I'm more spontaneous. I'm a natural. I'm a one-take person.' But that was because I didn't have any training. I was going off instinct.
