I didn't grow up really wanting to be an actor. I don't remember ever not being an actor.

Most actors don't really have a director's sensibility. They have an actor's sensibility.

I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.

I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.

As time goes on, I will play characters who get older: I don't want to be some Botoxed weirdo.

I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.
