I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

An actress in a film starts every day with an hour and a half in front of a mirror, with hair and make-up and costumes.

Once a Altman's film has been in a town, it kind of wrecks the town. It doesn't even matter what the film is because, suddenly, everybody's hip and stores start doubling prices or whatever.

I have a thing with the camera. The lens is unconditional. It doesn't judge you.

I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.

People pay to see movies with women looking beautiful, but I think there will be a place for me to play women looking my own age.
