I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether or not they're seen is another issue.

[On Lisa Kudrow:] She's like the best kind of jazz there is. You don't know what note she's going to hit and it's always a surprise.

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

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

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

A l lot of films I've done are essentially about women who are finding their voice, women who don't know themselves well.

I wouldn't have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.
