In America, I don't know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we're in danger.

It’s equally as important to me to be a good friend, and a good sister, and a good daughter. I’m very close with my family and friends.

There's like this great thing that Bette Davis said when someone asked her, "How do you get into Hollywood?" "Take Fountain!"

One thing you have to have when you act is energy.

I got to work with Gena Rowlands when I did Night on Earth, and the movie was just you and someone else in a car, you're just hanging out. There's nobody else, just a walkie-talkie. It was a night shoot, and it was only a week or ten days. But it was incredible just being in her presence.

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.
