At least I know that one film-maker in my career has had the initiative to come to me and thought of me as being capable of doing interesting and complicated work, and so I have a new-found belief that other film-makers will see me in a different way, the way that Patty did.

When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.

I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.

That's why I like my job so much, because at the end of the day they're fruits of labor that you don't pick very easily. And I love that.

I want my son to grow up with a mom that he could see and look at her life with all the mistakes and with all the failures and all the flaws and say, "My mom lived an authentic life. That was the life she wanted to live."

Whatever field you can do that, that's where you want to do it, and I think that's why people like David Fincher and Ridley Scott are interested in it, too, because when you sit down on a meeting in HBO and they're like, "More, more." You're just like, "Oh yeah, I love this." Sometimes it's a little harder in film. I think also it's a great audience, take advantage of it. It's a great audience.

When a person lives a very happy life they become beautiful.
