What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you?

You can hardly tell where the computer models finish and the real dinosaurs begin

There is so much in the world to care about.

I love comedy. David's Lynch the only person I've worked with more than once who sees me as a specific thing - he sees me as the sexy bimbo, in ways, and he also sees me as Lucille Ball. Actually, Nick Cage and I did Lucy and Ricky in two scenes in Wild at heart that were cut because the movie was four hours long.

We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that

Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes.

I'm very connected to my own family, and maybe I like to explore the feelings that come up in families. I'm fortunate that my parents taught me to look further into why I might feel a certain way; it was normal to expose things.
