I wanted to play a mother again. I thought it would be interesting to play the mother of an older child. And it was also the kind of part I've been looking for my whole career, actually, in film. You know, just to play a femme fatale who's very smart, and wicked.

I always find it particularly difficult to work in New York because there are so many things to do.

I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.

Please, God, please, don't let me be normal!

It's rather rare when you play an older character in a movie in a supporting role to even get an arc.

As long as your robot isn't programmed by like Dr. Evil, I think you're going to be fine.

I am a person who goes out without a purse.
