It's true: I don't remember what life was like before parenthood.

Partying has never been my thing. I've been around some wild people. I've been in the same room and watched them experiment, and that's been entertaining.

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.

Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.

My personality is just innately even-keeled. I'm not such a huge daredevil. Which is not to say I'm not a passionate woman. I don't know, maybe it's my physiological makeup, but I don't like the feeling of anything in my system, other than a glass of wine now and then.

It's thematic in my career, if you look at most of my choices. It is some level of exploration of maternal angst and maternal heroism.

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