It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what I do in my life: I support my son.

I don't need a director who's 'good with actors.'...A master manipulator is heaven.

I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I am an ordinary person.

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences

Who can worry about a career? Have a life.

There's only two givens with choosing acting as a profession: one is you will always be unemployed, always, and it doesn't matter how much money you make, you're still always going to be unemployed and that you have no power.

I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.

I'm a recreational pot-smoker. There has never been enough of a distinction between marijuana and other drugs. It's a human rights issue, a censorship issue, and a choice issue.

There’s no desire to be an adult. Adulthood is not a goal. It’s not seen as a gift. Something happened culturally: No one is supposed to age past 45 — sartorially, cosmetically, attitudinally. Everybody dresses like a teenager. Everybody dyes their hair. Everybody is concerned about a smooth face.

It's a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you've been trained as a classical theatre actor. There's always a depression in the theatre.

I never trusted good-looking boys.
