Just because I was 30 doesn't mean I was grown. God, I was such an idiot. I was an absolute idiot at 30. And I grew up.

I am the mother of a 6-year-old now, so that's changed my entire perspective.

I think that what happens so often on screen is high-stake moments tends to look too pretty. And I just don't think it's honest.

When a director can give you a word that allows you to feel less tense about yourself, to make you feel like you indeed are good enough before you even get to the work, you can't ask for anything more than that.

I would love to be remembered as a person who used her life to inspire others in any way, shape or form.

I have been given a lot of roles that are downtrodden, mammy-ish.

If the opportunity is not out there for you to play it, then you don't see it.
