A singer is someone who puts out an album. That's a very generous description.

It's nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It's fun to do a smaller part sometimes.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowlands in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life.

I can't watch my movies and get into them because as soon as I see myself I get taken out of the film.

When I'm an old lady, I'm going to have my pick of the young men. They'll be like, 'She's Miss Mary Jane!' The young boys will think I'm a hot old lady.
