I could relate to that, ... I'm a Vassar girl. We were taught to stand up for ourselves.

The film's interested in exploring how two siblings, who grew up in the same house, could have such divergent world views.
bossy case character damaged divergent emerged exploring grew household interested juicy mind people pushy siblings strange
In the case of these two siblings I was really interested in exploring how two people who grew up in the same damaged and strange household emerged with such divergent world views. I don't mind at all being the bossy one or the pushy one. She was a very juicy character for me to play.

I do remember that first night. We attempted to fill the pool and discovered it had a leak. I think Michael Ritchie patched a leak. I remember him standing there with a garden hose, filling this tremendous pool. He was just determined.

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.
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.
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.
home new-yorkers
I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.

Storytelling is what lights my fire.
years film enjoy
