I played his mother, so that was kind of fascinating, ... I met her, she had a small part in the movie, and he adores her, so I was really lucky.

I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.

There's only two givens with choosing acting as a profession: one is you will always be unemployed, always, and it doesn't matter how much money you make, you're still always going to be unemployed; and that you have no power.

It's a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you've been trained as a classical theatre actor. There's always a depression in the theatre.

Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
