I don't think films about elderly people have been made very much.

It made it feel impossible, quite honestly, because filming - you film come rain, come shine, come whatever. And it did rain a lot. And of course, that's what she must have gone through. Of course it rained; of course it was cold... But, you know, it really was quite hard to be out there in the rain.

I feel now like a hinge between generations, which is strange. It just happened recently. I think it's because my daughter is so much like me at her age. I feel like I'm reliving my own mother's experience of raising me.

We can't escape the shadow, so the best thing we can do is notice the light and be open to it.

An actor is somebody who communicates someone else's words and emotions to an audience. It's not me. It's what writers want me to be.

Don't be defeatist, dear, it's very middle class.

I'm not my mother. And so I'm not raising my kids in the same way. I don't respond in the same way. We don't spend our days in the same way because I don't necessarily enjoy the same things she likes to do.
