I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I'd think, tonight I'm going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance.

I think the people who cast films tend to think of me in regard to strong women with integrity and a lot of it has been very good.

I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.

Once I got to high school and auditioned for a play and got in, I thought this was really what I was looking for. Once that had got cleared up, from 13 on, that was it.

It's such a great feeling to make people laugh. I know I've made people cry or want to slit their wrists, but to make people laugh is a very intoxicating, wonderful thing.

I don't have a political bone in my body.

I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times. We all do.
