I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.

I'm interested in flawed protagonists. I was raised on them.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.

Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes.

Image
I'm interested in human nature. That's why I chose to become an actor. Whatever people are struggling with, the struggle is often where the drama is.

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.

As someone who has been asked to ask David Lynch what his movies mean for 25 years, I'm very careful about asking artists what their art means.

It sounds like a cliché, but mother is really one of my closest friends, and so's my dad. He and I weren't very close when I was younger, but now we're best friends.

Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.

I had a good understating about press: that it's the actor's responsibility to publicize his or her films, that the press can be fun, that it's not about hyping yourself into stardom or trying to sell yourself as a hot ticket. I think a lot of young actors now are getting caught up in that.

What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you?

I do think my mother was a bit overprotective, not in any sordid way, but just normally. She certainly might say to me, You know, Laura, I don't have a good feeling about that guy. I don't know if I want you to go out with him.

People have forever been interested in twins.

I went to a Catholic school. The private school was good - the teachers wanted all of us to have the freedom to think for ourselves. The education was good at the Catholic school, but you only got that one ideology.

I love comedy. David's Lynch the only person I've worked with more than once who sees me as a specific thing - he sees me as the sexy bimbo, in ways, and he also sees me as Lucille Ball. Actually, Nick Cage and I did Lucy and Ricky in two scenes in Wild at heart that were cut because the movie was four hours long.

My mother opened a bank account for me when I made $60 on my first day of work as an extra. She's that kind of mother.

I would say Steven Spielberg is family to me. He's a genius. We survived a hurricane together. I ran from half-puppet,half-nothing creatures. It was months of our life as family. It was the wildest film, Jurassic Park, I'd ever worked on that way.

I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.
