Well, I'm a consumer as well. I go to the movies with my popcorn and believe everything I see.

You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.

You learn your text and have it in the back of your head, without a thought as to how you're going to say it.

You look at Gone With the Wind, how right Vivian Leigh was for that. Don't know if that would happen today.

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.

Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.

In their 30s women really start to live... they're not children anymore, and they're not just mothers.

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

All I really want to do is entertain people out there sitting in the dark and for them to believe it.

And sometimes I do films so my daughter can see me work.

But actors at a certain point take the best of what's available to them.

Cause I won't repeat myself, the way I dress and look.

I can't wait til I get the chance to be a character and how my face looks isn't the first consideration.

I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.

I don't care what people's myths are about me.

I like to show as much of a woman as I can. I like to fill things out.

I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

I mean, I always feel incredibly lucky to get a job.

I think right now in the world we're feeling like there's no solid ground beneath our feet, you know?

I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.
