I remember the whole thing with the word ambition. I was messed up for a while because I associated it with certain people who just want to be famous. I think, for a while, it was kind of a dirty word for women.

I'd always find the positive in someone.

I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.

I was very obsessed with Ruth Gordon. I really didn't foresee me having any type of career as a leading lady at all because it was just blonds. I just wasn't the type - I was told that by casting directors. I auditioned for Running on Empty [1988] and The Mosquito Coast [1986], and Martha Plimpton was just killing me.
