I was a child of the women's movement. Everything I had learned was from my mother and my grandmother, who both had a very pioneering spirit. They had to, because they had to change flat tires and paint the house - because, you know, the men didn't come home from the war or whatever else, so women had to do these things.

The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.

I was kind of a bouncy kid. I used to roller-skate into the sides of cars.

I don't want to be an actress, because I think that they have to be really pretty, and I'm not.

If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.

I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.

I think people will have great conversations about religions, women's sexuality, gender issues and gay issues.
