Remember I came to Albuquerque to do a hair and makeup test and wardrobe fitting; you guys were already shooting. It's tough when the movie's already started and you kind of show up. You're the new kid on the block. I walked onto the set and Tommy [Lee Jones] was about to do the scene. I just kind of walked up to him. I was shaking, but I just gave him this big hug and he just had nothing to say. He was like, 'Gotta go to work now.' I had a great time working with him."

I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."

I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.

Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them "dark films" it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.

I think we're at a time where people just want to join together and cause change. People don't want to live like this any more.

As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too. So it's not all bad!
