I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys.

The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It's not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that's never really been my concern.

Writers, actors, anybody working on an ensemble-type thing, there are going to be some creaks in the beginning. It seems like there's tremendous potential in just letting things sort of breathe a little bit. It's tremendously important.

I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them.

I love being able to take a nap in the afternoon.

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.

I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.
