I've often said in the past that I thought MTV was sort of evil incarnate and signified the beginning of the end. And I don't know if I'm entirely wrong about that, but they did sign my paychecks a year ago, so I guess I'm part of the problem.
See, I don't watch reality television anymore. I watched a little bit of it for awhile, but I found it turned my soul into a black sludge, and I just did not find it healthy or good for me at all, because I would watch it and be disgusted, disgusted.
It's long past time we started focusing on the solutions that actually keep women healthy, instead of using basic aspects of women's health as a tool of cultural, moral, and political control.
Women know the financial, social and physical costs of not having access to basic health care.
Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.
We don't want to come off as pro-smoking. Even though we didn't smoke real cigarettes at all, you want to be careful of people's sensitivities.
At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.
I like things that are civilized.
In the theater, as an actor, you're welcoming people into your house.
As an actress for most of my life, I am profoundly familiar with poverty.
Actors, they come and go, you know.
I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there.
Very often a job will come along that speaks to the place you're in as a person at that very moment. And usually once I've done it I feel like that part is over.
It's important to me if I'm having a good time than I feel like the work is better. The quality of it is better and my level of interest is higher.
There are so many brilliant women on television right now.
Things come to you in life when you're prepared for them, when you're ready for them.
