I Wanted To Go To Jupiter. That

I Like Movies About Longing And Desperation, And Dark And Light Things, Stories About People Struggling To Raise Children, And To Have Relationships And Be Intimate With Each Other.

I've Always Loved Film More Than Theater, And Film May Be More Closely Related To Making A Record Because You Have That Ability To Go In And Do Your Work And Have No Judgment Around It, And Feel Honest. Then, Much Later, It's Presented To People. But In Theater, People Come Backstage After A Performance And You're About To Do The Same Play Again The Next Night, And People Say, "well, I Didn't Really Believe That Emotion" Or Whatever. It's Really Hard For Me, I Like To Be Closed Up And Just Do The Work.

I Think It's Interesting That There's Always A Dark Cloud Hanging Over My Character, In Every Movie. Even In Fat Man And Little Boy, Where It's A Real Dark Cloud. In Mask, It's More The Judgment Of Others, But It's Still A Threat.

I Study Carl Jung, Who Talks A Lot About The Shadow Side, The Repressed Side. I Think The Scariest Thing In The World Is Repression. There's Plenty To Be Idealistic About, But We Have To Be Aware Of All Sides Of Ourselves, And There Are Definitely Shadows In All Of Us.

I Do Think My Mother Was A Bit Overprotective, Not In Any Sordid Way, But Just Normally. She Certainly Might Say To Me, "you Know, Laura, I Don't Have A Good Feeling About That Guy. I Don't Know If I Want You To Go Out With Him."
