There was that feminist myth that we can do everything. I don't think you can.

I have made decisions based from purely an actor's point of view.

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 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.

It was easier to do Shakespeare than a lot of modern movie scripts that are so poorly written.

I never shot on sets, but if I was traveling somewhere or on location, I would always have my camera, and I'd always be - it's that kind of fly on the wall approach to photography, though. I don't engage the subject. I like to sneak around, skulk about in the dark.

Once I started on 'Frances' I discovered it was literally a bottomless well. It devastated me to maintain that for eighteen weeks, to be immersed in this state of rage for twelve to eighteen hours a day. It spilled all over, into other areas of my life.
