Women were real box office stars in the '40s, more so than men. People loved to see women's films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.

In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.

I'm hard on myself, so I'm working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.

Whenever I hear the narration for a new film, I have this process back home where my mother reads all my scripts.

The charity work is just a part of what I do. Like... I make time to clean my house, to care for my pets, to visit my extended family, because those things are important to me. Same with helping others.

Family - and certainly kids and a stable relationship - is something bigger than yourself. They need you to sit down with them, be there for them when they wake up in the middle of the night.

I spent four months in Prague in these blue rooms reacting to nothing and you basically place your faith in the hands of the director and the special effects co-coordinator and you keep your fingers crossed and hope that the creatures look really scary.
