I have a husband and children, and it affects me deeply that somebody could be taken away in a second.

I would do 'American Splendor' and 'About Schmidt' again in a heartbeat.

It's too easy to sum up a person's character in one negative instant, and it doesn't put anything good out into the world.

I was never the ingenue, so hopefully that'll make it easier to age and still work. I know a lot of actors who are really dissatisfied with where they're at even though some of them are huge stars and I feel like, 'Oh, my God, you're at the top.' Something interesting will come. It always does. I have faith.

I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much.

Storytelling is what lights my fire.

I'm not really high-strung now, but I was a very high-strung child.
