I don't go to parties and all that. I don't think being seen or being in the right place is going to make me a better actress. I care about my work and try to do what's right in my heart.

I can sing, but my voice is untrained. Id like to do a musical someday.

It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.

That was cool, getting to work with Ryan Gosling. I knew he was going to be a huge star after I saw him in that Showtime thing that he did when he was really young [The Believer]. I think the most fun thing about that was I'd never seen somebody that had so many questions about the specifics of everything: where you ate, how much you ate, how much you drank. He's very special.

I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.

In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique

It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.
