I Always Wanted To Be One Of

I Played The Mom In Spy Kids When I Was, Like, 27. So It Was Ridiculous. But [robert Rodriguez] Was Like, "you Know What? If We Do Our Job Right, No One Will Question It." And Nobody Did.

What I Love About Him [robert Rodriguez] Is That He Understands That Actors Are Transformational. It's A Natural Instinct To Ask People To Do What You've Seen Them Do Before. Until You See Someone Do Something New, You Don't Know What They Can.

I Do Think That's One Of The Reasons That Acting Appealed To Me So Much: The Idea Of Letting Go Of Control In A Controlled Environment. Being Able To Go Through The Range Of Intense Emotions And Jump Off The Cliff, Metaphorically, But In A Creative Way, And In A Way Where The Structure Was Really Solid.

I Think The Scariest Thing To Me Is To Think That Somebody Would Only Associate Me With One Character And That That's All That I Would Get To Play.

I Started Acting When I Was 13, So Acting Has Been, With Great Fortune, My Job Since I Could Get A Job.
