If you're going to play a hooker in a movie, the movie has to have the perspective, of course, that it isn't such a great thing. Probably the only way to really play a hooker well is to believe you're doing something that's good. But at the same time, the movie can't have that point of view.

It's a hard life to have sex with eight to 10 men a night. That's hard physically, let alone emotionally.

I find myself more and more interested only in roles which move the world forward.

Sometimes I'll read things in the script and think, "That's not how humans behave," or "I don't understand how to do that role and make it seem like I'm not some kind of strange alien or on a sitcom." I don't get it, and when I feel that way, I have to listen to my instinct. My initial instinct does lead me in a direction that I can trust.

I didn't think at all about my body until after I stopped nursing. When I was nursing, my body was my daughter's, I didn't even think about it. Then I finished nursing, and I was kind of like "Oh, huh, wow, my body's so different."

What I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and in film. That's what I think is revolutionary and evolutionary.

Acting is really important to me, so I think it would be really hard for me to do something I didn't believe in.
