TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't.

I want to live my life with no goals anymore, but just completely free, like I did when I was younger.

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

What can I say? I hate Bush; I despise him and his entire administration, everything he represents and everything he has tried to do, not only internationally, which is horrific, but domestically as well. In my country the atmosphere is poisoned. Unbreathable for those of us who are not on the right. So thank you for inviting me to this festival and allowing me to leave there for a few days.

If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.

The thing with psychoanalysis is I know basically what happened in my childhood. I know where things went wrong and I know what my mother said at one point and what my father said at one point.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.
