I have been a waitress, and I was a damn fine waitress too, let me tell you.

When you think about it there's never really been a realistic exposition of Hollywood, I mean - from the inside - showing Hollywood what it can do, what it has done, to people.

I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.

For me, acting was always a way to explore emotions - to dip into the well and really try to reach rock bottom down there. That was the most exciting part of it. I hadn't found anything that really allowed me to do that until I came upon acting.

I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.

I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
