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.
I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.
You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.
I think that as actresses - and I've definitely gone through this in a really bizarre way, because I worked so much and was really lucky with the roles that I got when I was younger - I remember hearing the older actors saying, "It gets tough," and thinking, "Really? I can't imagine."

I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.

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.
I welcome turning 30 because I like approaching the beginning of something instead of the end. I'm at a really good place and feel grounded.
