I said to Ramona [my daughter] once ... you should never look yourself up on the Internet. It's something I've learned.

I do seem to have a bit of a predilection for movies that say something transgressive.

I don't think there are that many parts I could say unequivocally "I would not play that," but there's lots of parts I read and I think, "I don't really want to do that. I don't really think that's how women act."

I'm 37 and I was told recently I was too old to play the lover of a man who was 55. It was astonishing to me. It made me feel bad, and then it made me feel angry, and then it made me laugh.

There is a need, especially right now in America, to be a bit provocative.

I would like to do a big movie that many, many people see but I just know I would be miserable if it didn't have something to it.

I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.
