I think in real life most of us don't know how to communicate our deepest feelings very well.

Being raised Catholic myself, I think people who are Catholic tend to carry a lot of guilt. It's almost a joke.

You can be a woman in charge of a production and still be generous and kind and insightful and decisive without being considered a butch in any way.

I think some of the most important things we read about other people occurs from being able to read their faces and their eyes and their body and those kinds of things.

I always thought I was a little shy, especially compared to my brother and my sister, but I guess I was always the kid doing performances in the front room.

One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.
