But I think for me, why I was drawn to the piece is, at the core of the story, it's a love story to me - between Ed and Lorraine, between these two families who are asking for help and us who are in the business of giving help.

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

I'm a full-time mom. I've never felt as prepared, as before maternity.

Music is what our feelings sound like.

I can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.

Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.

Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
