I joke that my niche in Hollywood has been naked foreigners.

I guess I'm used to seeing actors, but rock musicians still hold a special magic for me.

Politics is topical - it's what's happening now, and we can either respond in the present or avoid it.

You have to always physicalize, when you do animation recording. Otherwise, you won't get the performance right.

As an actress, you're living something through the duration of the play and its geography. I've always seen writing the same way. It's like somehow I'm moving through the terrain of the book as a performer.

A self-help book can't really address a problem unless it's individualized. It's not going to talk about a globalized problem.

In my cranky old age, I actually prefer recording alone now, on 'The Simpsons,' for example, because I find that the director can just focus on what I'm doing and I can do a lot of variations. A lot of times, when I record with a group, I'll stay after class for another hour or two.
