The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.

You're either a really good hooker or a really good mom. That kind of conflicted nature is very much a part of being a woman.

The thing I noticed is that a lot of times great material can get ruined if its not in the right hands.

Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.

And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.

You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.

And doing a film in that period, and having to really celebrate what they wore back then, how they sat and how they spoke. You know, what the etiquette was back then for a lady. All of those things are like putting on a wig and transforming yourself, which I love.
