Some of the best roles are for women in these independent, smaller movies.

It's that I'm 39. I feel hot and sexy, actually... I feel it inside myself. I don't feel dried up and tired and no longer interested in sex is what I'm trying to say.

I was always fraught with guilt, and it's such a waste of an emotion. It keeps you out of the moment of being where you are.

When I connect to my soul, project it into another #‎ character , and then bring it to the stage or to a film--that has always been for me the great joy of #‎ acting . It's been as if my soul kind of leaps out of my body and is able to be free and dance around.

I think in this movie, every time I see his work, I'm blown away by it because he, to me, he really embodied the character so powerfully and so real, so truthfully to me.

Shame is such an intense emotion. It just can drive you.

I was very young when we got married and I don't know why it worked out like it did or how I was smart enough to know that this was the right guy, but somehow I got lucky.
