As an actor, you're used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that.

In feature film world I'm very much...a hired hand. It's a world of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson - they're able to produce and to star and it's, that's not my world.

The three things I said when I came out of school were I want to work consistently, I want to do good work and I want to be paid fairly, and that's happened. But I didn't become an actress for the money. I do it for other reasons.

I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.

When you ask the best questions of yourself and others, you invite the best answers.

Theater's my first love. I love it. It excites me. It feeds me.

Memories are meant to fade, Lenny. They're designed that way for a reason.
