Quote

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

I binge-watched this show Damages. Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are so good. Lily Tomlin is in it. You see all these great actors and the writing is terrific. There are a lot of shows like that. And there are all these conversations right now about roles for women and being paid equally and all of that, but I think what it really is, is opportunity.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

I'm not a drug user myself. I'm too little to take drugs - my body can't take it.

I am not a person who can really sit around and think about regrets because with every bad experience that you have, there is weirdly something good that comes from it.

I'd always find the positive in someone.

I'm not into older guys. To tell you the truth, Richard Gere is not the sexiest man alive, in my book.

If a film is well made, then great, whatever it's about.

I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.

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

I'm 44 years old. So, it's really great to watch younger generations getting their opportunities, and being there to support them in that.

I was not the first choice for Veronica in Heathers. I auditioned and they were like, Oh, thanks. And I went to the Beverly Center to Macy's and had them do a makeover on me. I went back because I kind of knew that they thought I wasn't pretty enough. They were trying to get Jennifer Connelly.

Scapegoating will go on forever. We need someone to blame - illegal immigrants, single moms, people in prison. We need someone to victimize.

I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.

I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.

I was always like, I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!'

All we want is to be treated like human beings, and not to be patronized, or experimented on like guinea pigs.

My problems seemed so glamorous to other people, and everyone just thought I was so lucky. But then, I was lucky because my family was really there for me. I think I just felt like I really wanted to hold on to who I was as a person, and try to have as much of a normal life as I could.

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.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.
