Lea Thompson

I mostly played 'Pac-Man', but I played 'The Sims' with my kids when they were growing up.

I enjoy learning about the new technologies. I enjoy getting to know the new fans and dealing with them on their turf.

Of course, I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.

So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.

Howard the Duck!' That's a really interesting movie. I appreciate my career, because I've had a lot of very interesting ups and downs, and most people... That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops, it's kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean, it's kind of a poster child for flops.

I'm always really excited to try something new in my profession that I haven't done yet.

Sitcoms are usually given short shrift by the acting profession, but it's quite an amazing job.

I hate when people don't hear the actual words out of your mouth or even the intent of it. They just hear something completely different.

I don't like a class system. I don't like the idea of being in a different class than other people.

I was such a fan of Cyndi Lauper and her whole 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' thing.

In my deepest parts of sadness, I'm always making a joke or being sarcastic.

Usually, you don't really end up lifelong buddies with your co-stars.
