I think Jesse Eisenberg is such a great writer. He was a great director and really tough.

It felt really good to kind of find my voice and say stuff, and to be funny, hopefully.

I haven't seen a bear in person. I've seen deer. I have lots of woodchucks on my property. And bluebirds. Foxes.

You're talking to someone, to a reader, and you get to express in the way you want to. And you get to play with it. It's kind of like acting, but it's on paper.

You're making a fantasy. You're making something real out of a fantasy. And then it no longer exists. It's heartbreaking to leave behind. I was devastated after Waiting for Guffman. I had never gotten so close to people I've worked with.

It's overshadowed, the art. We're in a really argumentative, black-and-white-thinking culture right now. There's not a lot of time to take things in.

I'm having too good of a time.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.

The studios insisted that only stars could make movies successful. And that was the real disappointment of the time. You'd see great writer-directors in the '90s becoming part of a system where financiers and movie stars could change the material. I came along just before all that happened.

An actor's career relies on a lot of luck. Being in the right place at the right time.

Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I liked being able to portray a woman at this particular age and at this point in her life.

I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.

My first lead role was probably 'Party Girl' in 1994.

I was around New York at a time when independent cinema was at its peak and became kind of popular and mainstream. It got some hype, culturally. After that, studios started to have independent companies within their studio system, and they found bigger stars willing to do new material. That's kind of what it's turned into.
