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

But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake

My first lead role was probably 'Party Girl' in 1994.

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 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].

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

I liked being able to portray a woman at this particular age and at this point in her life.
