I don't want to sound like too much of a drama queen! But I'm not going to tell you, 'Oh, it's just so much fun.' It's work [working on film].

People are like, 'Was it fun? Did you eat lots of cake?'

I was around New York at a time when independent cinema was at its peak and became kind of popular and mainstream. It got some hype, culturally. After that, studios started to have independent companies within their studio system, and they found bigger stars willing to do new material. That's kind of what it's turned into.

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

It's overshadowed, the art. We're in a really argumentative, black-and-white-thinking culture right now. There's not a lot of time to take things in.

I've done a lot of crafts in my day. I learned how to do pottery, yoga... and I just wanted to share and talk and write.

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