I have huge chunks of time when I'm not working.

He seemed to know so much more than it would be appropriate for a first-time (film) director to know. I still don't understand how he knows what he knows.

My dad was in the life insurance business, so I learned about selling when I was about 14 because I started working as a secretary.

By the time I was in high school, Roe v. Wade had passed, so that was also happening; girls were getting pregnant and getting abortions - and that happened in my school too.

Getting all dressed up and putting on fancy clothes - all of that's a great thing, but oddly, it doesn't really have a lot to do with acting most of the time.

I don't see myself as competing with other actresses. I mean, I went through a time when I was in New York, and I was going to lots of auditions and trying to get parts, but even then, you're not really competing with the other actresses. There is a competition going on, but it's not like something you can win in that way.
