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

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.

People work really hard to get to a certain point. But they have to work just as hard to stay there

After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries, I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like

A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.

I'm really proud to have been in The Craft. I will always be that chick from The Craft, no matter what I do.

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