I studied acting for 10 years before I went for an audition. I studied with Lee Strasberg and Actors Studio teachers, and went to the High School of Performing Arts.

I'm a little more extreme than a homebody. Unless there's some event I really have to go to, I don't like to leave my house.

There's no slow build anymore where you get a little part, then you get a little better part, then a better part, until one day your agent calls you us and says, 'guess what, you're a movie star,' and you say, 'Thank you!'

I'm just curious, who's more fit to raise a child? A loving committed same-sex couple or an unmarried 15-year-old with no income and really no skills to parent?

You've got a movie where the pro-choice family gives their daughter no choice. The pro-life family murders. What seems to be the good mother, the kind of hippie painter, sweet and cute mother has no love for her daughter really.

My first movie was 'Diner.' My second movie was 'Tender Mercies.' I did really good work.

I wish I had a little more ambition. But then what would I do? Turn down more roles with more vehemence? Me no likey worky.
