People do eventually see something that's quality.

I always try to be careful when an actor who is like 70 walks onto my set at work, I don't want them to get called in five hours early or block shoot something. I think you need to treat them with respect and dignity.

I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.

I haven't really done a lot of comedies. I don't know why, because I really like them

I don't know if directors go, 'Hey! We've got another suicide-let's call Robin Tunney! It's weird, but they're all different, and I guess it gives the characters some kind of power... At least I play women who are strong enough to take the power into their own hands! And kill themselves! So many women in films just shoot themselves in the head anyway, because they're not really there for any reason.

My friends that are snobs think its cool I did a movie with Albert Brooks.

You don't make movies to win awards. You make movies because you want people to see them.
