And I thought, you know, I have to say that maybe the whacked out mother is my new favorite role, but I don't want to just do it and become Nurse Ratchett.

I was one of the most brilliant liars as a child.

I'm not quite ready for a no makeup movie.

Acting doesn't feel good. It's not comfortable to feel all this stuff, it's not.

Jim Brooks is a very powerful director and it was a lot of intense work.

But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.

I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn't like about this community.
