As a director, I hoped that I was able to help the actors by giving them the space and the respect they need and the trust. I gave them what I always felt I needed when I was working.

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

I think doing anything having to do with war, you walk away so very grateful for everything you have and the safety that you have.

I'd love to have a great relationship with my father. And unfortunately... I don't.

I'm with a man who's evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful because of the journey it has taken.

What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool, because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad.

This has been my life for many years; one role feeds the other. It is a joy to be an artist, but it doesn't mean very much unless that work is somehow useful in some way and contributes to others.
