I think people say women come into their prime in their 40s. And then for some reason our society just wants to go... it's like a dead flower.

Oh my God I am so cool.

I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.

I know what I'm capable of wearing in one lifetime and what I really need.

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 don't like rehearsal.

As actors, we were fighting that tooth and nail because of fear, because language is a crutch and dialogue is a crutch, and it's so easy to just have a great writer write you a line.
