All of [motherhood] surprised me. It surprised me from the very first second I saw Jack. I'd believed that my pregnancy was a condition. It never computed. And there he was. Everyone made fun of me because I stared at him for months and months, not being able to believe he was real.

I've played a heroin addict and a speed freak and dark characters throughout my career.

Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do it even though it takes a lot.

Acting is what I do. It's not what I solely define myself as.

I'm a sucker for a funny script. And then, as soon as I don't wanna be, one comes along and grabs me.

I love what you might call brutal elegance. Where form and function are really obvious. There is nothing easily broken in this house.

I am convinced, completely convinced, that there was nothing random about [the adoption], she is the daughter I should have.
