Education is huge for me. I went to public school until I turned thirteen, and was lucky enough to afford college once I became successful as an actress.

I never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them.

I did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna­ - the one you saw - we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.

Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.
