summer beach new-york
Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my family's cottage in Maine. It's on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing.
moving hands sky
I always step on the plane with my right foot and touch the outside of the plane with my left hand. Sometimes you know there's someone standing there to welcome you to the plane and I have to kind of get them to move a little bit so I can put my hand on the outside of the plane. It's not a natural thing to be up in the sky in a little metal tube.
girlfriend children years
I have not spent years in therapy; I tried therapy in my mid-twenties, and it did not go very well. I just thought, 'This is so not for me. I would rather talk to one of my girlfriends.' I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much. I have young children, and I'm just pretty much crazed.
stars interesting age
I was never the ingenue, so hopefully that'll make it easier to age and still work. I know a lot of actors who are really dissatisfied with where they're at even though some of them are huge stars and I feel like, 'Oh, my God, you're at the top.' Something interesting will come. It always does. I have faith.
mean play want
To play Hillary Clinton? I'm kind of winging it. No, are you kidding me? I prepared obsessively. I mean, as much as I could in the time that I was given. Of course, with someone like Hillary Clinton, obviously, anything you want is on YouTube and at your fingertips there.
children high-strung
I'm not really high-strung now, but I was a very high-strung child.
analyzing too-much
I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much.
home new-yorkers
I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.
girl suicidal play
I'm usually called upon to play the dreary suicidal girl.
cry
There's nothing I love more than a good cry.
fire light storytelling
Storytelling is what lights my fire.
pet gone lucky
I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you're lucky if you get anything.
years film enjoy
I like to work. I enjoy once a year, doing a film.
reflection looks way
The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.
