I find that things don't bother me as much. If I had a bad day on set, it sort of just rolls of my back in a way that it didn't before. So that's where the biggest difference is, stuff that used to get under my skin or that I would worry about or be anxious about just isn't a problem. So in some ways, having a child has been very liberating. I found it very liberating.

Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.

Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.

I don't consider myself a celebrity, and I don't consider myself a star.

I grew up in Manhattan and, since my father was a playwright, all I ever wanted to be was a stage actress.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them.
