In a collaborative environment directors hire actors because they want their input, not just their bodies.

In their 30s women really start to live... they're not children anymore, and they're not just mothers.

Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.

I think right now in the world we're feeling like there's no solid ground beneath our feet, you know?

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.

All I really want to do is entertain people out there sitting in the dark and for them to believe it.

I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.
