I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.
I write pretty much every day, but I don't have any desire to publish anything.
You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.
If you're a musician, you can practice your guitar every day and write songs, but when you're an actor, you can't just like burst into a monologue. Your only exercise is when you're in prep or you're working.
I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they're still in love and still write together.
It would be great if teenagers could make movies. It's sad how some writers think they can write about stuff they don't understand.
I binge-watched this show Damages. Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are so good. Lily Tomlin is in it. You see all these great actors and the writing is terrific. There are a lot of shows like that. And there are all these conversations right now about roles for women and being paid equally and all of that, but I think what it really is, is opportunity.
