Well, softness and femininity like yours people don't expect of me; so when they find me emotional and capable of real vulnerability, they're surprised.

I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.

I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?

It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.
