Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister.

After you free yourself from the incredible expectations of love through the media from the time you were so high, you realise that it's the spaces between the notes that make music.

I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.

Food is a passion. Food is love.

Which reminds me of a fortune cookie: you often find your destiny on the path you take to avoid it.

I guess I work well with others I handle younger actors well.

I never learned to cook; I was a little spoiled as far as that's concerned.
