It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films, that's how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren't, it was all just a part of my everyday life.

The idea of being given things that you don't necessarily deserve was always a difficult one for me to negotiate, and so I really always felt that I had to prove myself. Being the daughter of a famous man I guess is more easy than being the daughter of a famous woman, but at the same time there was a sense of really, with me, of wanting to earn my own way.

I think most actors like to be liked.
