Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

In the '90s, indie movies could get financing, because financers gave money straight to directors... Now it's a different system. Indie movies got co-opted by the studio system.

I utilize myself a lot more fully now. You get older so you have a lot more experience.

I don't Twitter, although sometimes I think that I should.

I did do a presentation pilot with Jesse Eisenberg and he's wonderful. He's such a great writer. He directed me and he wrote these wonderful scripts and we're waiting to hear if marketers and advertisers think that an audience wants to look at a bad mom and her 10-year-old son in a show.

It felt really good to kind of find my voice and say stuff, and to be funny, hopefully.
