I don't find acting and directing schizophrenic, in any way. I find it completely easy to move between the two.

I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

There is no doubt that each of us is born an individual. Why is it then that so many of us die carbon copies?

I guess I've played a lot of victims, but that's what a lot of the history of women is about.

I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.

If I fail, at least I will have failed my way.

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.
