My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.

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

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 would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

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

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