Quotes
- "People can't really place me. They're not really sure who I am. Sometimes they think I'm Helen Hunt. Sometimes they think I'm Laura Dern"
- "I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make."
- "A lifetime of work, particularly where you get to see an actor grow and change, is better than becoming a rock & roll movie star."
- "Really, any sense of spirituality, which I do have, really comes from the arts that are sort of my inspiration."
