I think everybody should act! I would encourage everybody to do one thing, join a theater class or something. It's so good to take a character that you think is wildly different from who you are, and to try to relate to that person and become that person is very helpful. It's hard to articulate what you learn, but you can feel the effect of these characters that you play and take with you.

Cars can have a hypnotic effect. You can get in a car and get out and not really remember the trip.

I turned 30 and everyone told me I would feel different and I didn't. So I thought I'd move to New York.

To watch a master work at anything is a privilege.

In New York, you're forced to deal with life; it's there in front of you on a daily basis.

I am pretty sick with myself! It seemed a pretty good idea at the time. Around the time I turned 30, I started to feel very creative, more creative than I had been before which is good and I like that.

I'm attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life.
