Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.

I conducted a bunch of interviews for Interview magazine. They actually paid me. I think I was probably 18 or 19. I was in college and I remember feeling, like, "Wow." I had a real job, and they paid me money, and it was exciting.

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.

Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.

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.

Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

I'm not interested in being perfect when im older. Im interested in having a narrative. It's the narrative that's really the most beautiful thing about women.
