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.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy

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

After I do a big movie I get offered big movies. But I always do the weirdest indie.

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

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