Everything's cyclical. Having been raised by actors, I watched their careers, and the challenge is to take time off.

I grew up with a tribe of amazing women, but certainly my mother and my godmother really modeled women as actors.

Having egregious divorces - where you just hate each other - is really the easy way out.

If you're looking to be loved for a part, it's great and enticing to be adorable in a romantic comedy. But then, as an actor, you get stuck.

I knew I wanted to become an actor when I was 7 years old. My dad was working with Alfred Hitchcock, my mom was working with Martin Scorsese - and it was the great summer of my childhood.

Like anything else, acting can become boring - a chore, really - if there isn't any challenge. And I like taking challenges. Just when people think they have me figured out, I like to surprise them.
