There are people who consider it almost unpatriotic to be inquisitive and to be truthful about your opinions.
I know that I've seen a mannerism, or a way I've cried, or something, where I see a flash of my parents.
Anybody you make a movie with when you're 12 and they're 14, you're going to know them your whole life.
Ben Stiller, who I love and who is a friend and is such an incredible actor - he's hilarious, obviously, but I thought his performance in 'Greenberg' was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, I was making comedies in my 20s, but other people didn't realize they were comedies.
My dad was always interested in characters he didn't understand - he was such a great bad guy in movies. And that is really the thing that calls me to the material often: something I struggle to understand in human behaviour.
Love means a lot to me, and I love loving, and I love boys.
I will be working with David Lynch when I'm 80.
To stay true to your art is such a complicated journey, and Dad clearly has done it.
There are artists or filmmakers or cinematographers who have had long careers who, maybe to reinvent themselves or just to stay in a secure place, layer it on or ham it up, if I can use that expression, or make grand choices that don't feel as authentic as what they did to make us fall in love with them in the first place.
When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.
I like to play people who are deeply flawed, and I want to find the good nature in them. I even try to be kind to myself when I've made big mistakes.
It's lovely to be considered pretty and lovely to do photo shoots, and I just love fashion. But I'm proud that I did the characters I wanted to do.
I was on the cover of a lot of magazines, and there were compliments about beauty and fashion and what I was wearing. Man, if you get locked into that, you can lose your freedom as an actress.
My favorite books are psychology, self-help, and I'm fascinated by Jung, by dream work.
I certainly wouldn't mind if 'Jurassic Park' turns out to be commercially successful, and somebody says, 'Hey, you were in a box-office hit, and if you want to do another movie, we'll give you five million dollars to make it.'
I resent ever being stereotyped.
I always fall in love with qualities of people I work with.
Me and Woody Harrelson, we're twins. We're the same person. I should only make movies with him.
What a cool job to be part of - whether it's doing lighting or acting or serving food on set. You're part of telling a story that hopefully has an essential component, and that's super exciting to me.
