I think there's a million talented people out there, it's just a matter of luck a lot of the time.
Joan CusackI was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.
Joan CusackI think that a lot of women get out of the business because it's so not family-friendly. And so women that could be in there making good women-roles don't do it, 'cause they're smart and get out. But I think there is a consequence to that. I think us gals need to stay in and just change the way it works, so men aren't being workaholics and avoiding life and relationships, and they can make films in a reasonable amount of time, so you can have a family and a life outside of work. And have more balanced, content-driven, enjoyable movies.
Joan CusackCan they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.
