I really wanted to be nasty and mean and bad. It's so much easier than being the good girl

In acting there's two different things: You're either pitching in a scene, or you're catching.

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

Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife

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.

I've quoted Lost in America several times.

Im a firm believer that actors take to work who they arent at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.
