Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.

Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.

Interestingly, when you do films, sometimes you have conscious reasons, things that you were looking for, or stuff that you were trying to do. And then, you see the film and you think, "Wow, it ended up being something totally different!"

People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.

It's a skill that people are born with. Either you're a focuser or you're a multitasky person. I am a full-focus person.

It's hard to get personal films off the ground, and it's hard developing them.

I feel at various times in my life that I've been at a point where I had to choose between a death sentence and a life sentence. And I want to live. What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? And the answer is always creativity.
