As an actor in these movies you get to fill up something so much, to its capacity, and once you get there you're like a horse running onto the racetrack.

I sold my apartment this year. It's like, Wow, this is where the arts are now.

I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.

The studios insisted that only stars could make movies successful. And that was the real disappointment of the time. You'd see great writer-directors in the '90s becoming part of a system where financiers and movie stars could change the material. I came along just before all that happened.

I think movies are now like going to a museum and seeing the latest exhibit - people just aren't going. It really is a dying art form. It feels frustrating.

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

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