My role models are Bettie Page and Mia Kirshner. Every day when Mia comes to work she raises the bar for us all.

By annihilating somebody else in whatever way, then that person feels that they also have the ability to, then, restore the person.

You can make yourself feel better about yourself if you project your shadow side, if you project your own potential for evil onto someone else. By annihilating them and, therefore, your shadow, you bring yourself into some state of purity or reformation.

What is their potential for evil; what is their potential for wickedness? That's the only time that those characters become interesting to watch.

I've had some of the best craft services on independent movies, actually, because they get more creative, generally, with a smaller budget. The work is still the same. I didn't really notice the difference other than I was getting dressed behind a curtain, basically.

My husband does so many romantic things for me, it's absurd.

It's been perfect. I can still ride a subway and work with great people. I can't imagine being Julia Roberts. I don't have the fortitude to withstand that kind of attention.
