'Silence Of The Lambs' was not something people expected me to do.

Silence of the Lambs.

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.

It's my job, ... I wouldn't not promote my movie and you want to get out there and tell people what it's about and to communicate why you loved it.

If I make two movies my entire life, and they're two movies that - whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them - they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don't need to be Steven Spielberg.

The movie worked because people believed in her heroism. I won't play her with negative attributes she'd never have.
