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

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

Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my family's cottage in Maine. It's on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing.

I'm way too disorganized.

I get to play a lot of hysterics.

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