The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.
The network shows tend to be run, in general, in my experience, by committee, and it's hard for actors and writers to do their jobs.
I have a husband and children, and it affects me deeply that somebody could be taken away in a second.
I would do 'American Splendor' and 'About Schmidt' again in a heartbeat.
I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.
I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much.
But I think Hillary Clinton is one of the most amazing women of this time.
I'm not really high-strung now, but I was a very high-strung child.
I'm way too disorganized.
I've seen a lot of the United States, having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work.
It's too easy to sum up a person's character in one negative instant, and it doesn't put anything good out into the world.
I travel all the time, and I have two small children.
I love stories that give me a perspective on how easy American life has become in the 21st century.
I just love to make a whole roomful of people laugh.
You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck.
I'm usually called upon to play the dreary suicidal girl.
There's nothing I love more than a good cry.
Storytelling is what lights my fire.
I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you're lucky if you get anything.
I feel like I'm one of the happiest people I know.
I get to play a lot of hysterics.
I haven't frequented a nail salon in a long time.
I like to work. I enjoy once a year, doing a film.
To play Hillary Clinton? I'm kind of winging it. No, are you kidding me? I prepared obsessively. I mean, as much as I could in the time that I was given. Of course, with someone like Hillary Clinton, obviously, anything you want is on YouTube and at your fingertips there.
The work evolves when you get another part, and then you're getting called on to solve difficult characters, to inject a note of humanity into them. It's more interesting for me to do that than to stand around and be sunny.
