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.

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.

I've seen a lot of the United States, having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work.

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'm way too disorganized.

The network shows tend to be run, in general, in my experience, by committee, and it's hard for actors and writers to do their jobs.
