I am to a fault an introspective person. But I am not a reflective person - except for a big mistake, and then I really think about it.

The way Hollywood portrays mothers - you're either all good and saint-like, or you're all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member.

I would love to do a television show in New York City.

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.

It's no stretch to picture me standing next to Al Pacino or Robert De Niro. Those are ethnic New York men. I'm an ethnic New York girl. Everybody has their limitations. I mean, I should never be cast as Queen Elizabeth.

I don’t want to be a mentor in my bedroom.

I have huge hands and feet. I'm 5'6" and wear a size 10 shoe.
