I made a commitment to myself: that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference... It has to move people.

It would be great to make a movie that had the style of a great '30s film or a movie of David's Lynch or some other director I love that could also make money, because that would say to the corporation, "Yes, you can make money and still do art." But it's tricky.

I would say Steven Spielberg is family to me. He's a genius. We survived a hurricane together. I ran from half-puppet,half-nothing creatures. It was months of our life as family. It was the wildest film, Jurassic Park, I'd ever worked on that way.

That's life - to turn each other on, to feel good, to feel in love.

It's a strange world, as David Lynch would say

I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.

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.
