I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.

I don't think there is anything good about fame. 'Tables in restaurants.' People say that but, then again, why don't you just call the day before? Or go eat somewhere else?

I don't have a burning desire to act strangely enough. I don't know that if I hadn't been an actor as a young person, I don't know that I ever would have chosen this because it's not really my personality.

My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.

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.

Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.

I want to change the system from within the system. And that means focusing and specializing.
