It's always been a desire of mine to work with my parents

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.

When man decides he can control nature, he's in deep trouble

I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

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's a strange world, as David Lynch would say

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.
