Instead of making Friday The 13th, Part VIII or whatever, I was making the girl-meets-boy, girl-meets-girl-dressed-as-boy movie. It was fun. I liked it. It's goofy. I look back at myself and think, "What the hell was I doing?"

For me acting is pretending. It's illuminating my human struggle - trying to grow and have the courage to be filmed while figuring things out.

The difference between working with a man and a woman... is immense.

Now I just feel like I'm more open to life. I have two children.

Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men... they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.

It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.

I said, "Oh well, I'll act." I started to study, but I didn't know what I was doing, and I don't know that I was taking it very seriously then.
