It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there, and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've made recently and so I'm pretty positive about the future.
It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.
Reverend Hale is so interesting because at first he's like, "Oh, she's got the mark." Then by the end he's like, "You're all crazy."
It's interesting because First Wives Club was the first movie that made a shitload of money that starred all women over a certain age. That was a milestone that made you think, "Oh, things are going to change."
A lot of filmmakers and actors say, "It's so important to bring an authenticity to the role," blah, blah, blah. But then it's interesting because you're also trying to be somebody else, and viewers are going to associate you with that, so I don't think it really has an answer.

Back then, you used to lock people up and throw away the key if they just felt sensitive, or if they rebelled in any way.
So remaking a movie like Mr. Deeds Goes to Town is a really positive statement and I'm so happy I made it in light of what happened after we made it.
Only in Hollywood could that happen -- it really was hysterical. But she is more interesting now than she was before.

It's not just about a girl (referring to Jo's character) who wants to be a writer. It's about falling in love and getting your heart broken and breaking other people's heart. It touches just about everything.
I really hope people go back and watch his movies. He was such a fantastic actor. He's not just Sean's little brother. He was Chris Penn.
