I like the theatre because you paint with broad strokes. To me the theatre is stretching its definition really far.
I want to start a trend of women as we really look. Some good things, some not so good. I am tired of looking at frozen faces.
I was the all-American face. You name it, honey - American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald's, Burger King. The Face That Didn't Matter - that's what I called my face.
People pay to see movies with women looking beautiful, but I think there will be a place for me to play women looking my own age.

Playing big films on festivals is SO misguided. And I know where it comes from: it comes from the head of the festival thinking that he'll play with the big guys, like that's the way to do it and it's SO not the way to do it. It's where Cannes went wrong, it's where Toronto is going wrong. I mean, I got off the plane in Cannes this year and the streets were paved with posters from studio movies. Who cares about that? Why come to Cannes for that? You're going to be able to see all those films anyway - you're not going to be able to avoid them, so I don't get it. Obviously.
I just want to sleep, and eat, and learn about what's going on in the world.

When I finished the book [The Dissemblers], I sent it to one billion agents, and got one billion rejections.

Your past is your shadow. It has form but no substance, except in the places you allow it to touch you. (
