I know that in my own personal life, the people who I have dated who are funny can get away with a lot more than the people who aren't.
If you needed to borrow a cup of sugar, you knocked on your neighbour's door.
It's funny because I grew up with the T.V. on 24 hours a day. And the more money I made, the more T.V.s we had.
I think that anybody coming out and saying, 'This is who I am, and let me show it to you...' is good for the world.
I think mental illness is a slippery slope to talk about these days because people are overly diagnosed, overly prescribed, overly everything.
My mom was a single mother, raising my sister and me. My mom has an incredible talent for living in the world without traditional structure, and her friend, who was in advertising, put me in a commercial when I was five. It was just to make money.
I always knew when I graduated from high school, I'd go to college. I never thought about what I was walking away from... I just wanted to study literature and writing.
People are obsessed with actresses being hairless, fatless Barbie dolls.
I'd started acting as a child. But I wanted to see if it was something my true personality was interested in. I stepped away from offers when I took five years off to go to college. I've only really just decided to whole-heartedly embrace acting.
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.
I curate my T.V.-watching quite carefully.
I think being on a set where people aren't being treated as equals, and with just a common level of decency and respect, is really uncomfortable.
I basically took six or seven years off, but then I had another five or four of me not working at all because I was in school. It was really 13 years of me not working at all... I really couldn't even think about it.
I don't know if I'd say I feel green, but I'm getting to know myself as an actor now in a way that I never did as a kid.
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
I think that every young person is a little mentally ill, you know? If we're not totally shutting down, we're all a little bit mentally ill in our twenties and maybe into our early thirties.
I don't know how people do this waxing thing. Now I just have all these bumpy ingrown hairs.
I've been told by many people that if I had a Twitter account, I would be making five hundred thousand dollars more a year.
I was watching 'Pulp Fiction' when we were making 'Now and Then'. I didn't care about 'Now and Then,' you know?
There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
