I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.

To play Hillary Clinton? I'm kind of winging it. No, are you kidding me? I prepared obsessively. I mean, as much as I could in the time that I was given. Of course, with someone like Hillary Clinton, obviously, anything you want is on YouTube and at your fingertips there.

I love stories that give me a perspective on how easy American life has become in the 21st century.

I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you're lucky if you get anything.

There's nothing I love more than a good cry.

You know how a lot of people say they could go crazy? Well, I feel I live very close to that line.

I'm usually called upon to play the dreary suicidal girl.
