I love directing, It means so much to me to direct stories about subject matter that I care deeply about. I can act in many things, and you can try to experience different characters, but to direct is years of your life and you have to really love it and believe in it.

I have to concentrate on my son. That's why I have lovers right now and not a boyfriend. I don't want my son to start calling somebody Daddy unless that person's gonna stay.

Apart from my children, spending time with refugees was the greatest gift... the greatest life lesson I could ever receive.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

I love doing lesbian love scenes. Before I did my lesbian scenes in Gia, I talked to actresses who said love scenes are easier with another woman than a man. Bound's Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly said they'd lie there and discuss the sale at Barney's between takes.

I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can't stop lifting it, and I love that you know.

I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.
