If you have a movie coming out, and people are talking about you, the amount of scripts will build.

What I consider a good part for a woman and what some other Hollywood people think are good women's parts are very different. I don't want to play the supportive girlfriend who has nine scenes and just loves that man, maybe cheats on him in one scene but will always be there, and I mean - give me a break.

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

There are a lot more female writers wanting to direct their own material and hopefully will be given the opportunity.

When I was a kid, I thought I would be an entrepreneur and maybe at some point go into law school.

Taking the time to read to children is not only a worthwhile investment but also a wonderful experience. I have visited 119 schools in Maine, and these visits are among the most rewarding experiences in my career in public service.

When I started in the mid-'90s, the goal was really to shoot for a film career and stay there.
