I Don't Really Watch My Moves All

You Know, You Really Do Choose Your Existence In A Way.

I Like To Investigate All Different Kinds Of People, I Guess, And Find Out What Makes Them Who They Are, And Try To Be Honest In The Portrayal, And Truthful, And Find Out How To Understand That Person, How To Communicate That Person's Experience.

I Just Don't Plan Things. I Live A Month At A Time.

I Think Robert Altman Could See Things In Me That I Didn't Know I Possessed, Which Is Really Exciting. He Also Instilled A Tremendous Amount Of Confidence, Because He Would Say Things Like, "these Are The Bare Bones, But I Want You To Go Fill It Out. You Find The Character. You Bring It To Me. You Write Whatever You Want." And If You Had An Idea, He Wouldn't Want To Hear About It. He's Want You To Show It To Him.

I Loved Acting As A Kid Because I Was Kind Of Shy, So It Brought Me Out Of Myself. Acting For Kids Is Like Playing House, You Know? But Growing Up In Hollywood, It Just Made It Seem Possible. It Wasn't Like Some Idea Of Going To Hollywood; It Was In My Backyard. I Lived Two Blocks From Grauman's Chinese Theatre Growing Up. It Was What People Did. It's An Industry Town. So It Wasn't Some Far-off Fantasy, It Was Like "oh Yeah, When You Grow Up, You Do This Because That's What People Do Here."
