I'm Kind Of A Chatterbox And I

I Really Did Feel Like I Was Surrounded By Family Members. I Didn't Have A Dad, And I Remember There Were All These Guys - In The Old Days, There Were No Women, Except A Makeup Artist Or, Occasionally, A Script Supervisor. So There Were Just Guys Who Taught Me How To, You Know, Whittle Wood, Or How To Pull Focus, And What The Camera Was Doing. And If I Was Being Bratty, They'd Sit Me Down And Tell Me. There Were Lots Of Rules About Not Being Late And Making Sure That You Didn't Spill Anything. So It Felt A Little Bit Like I Was In A Family.

As An Actor, I'm Attracted To Drama; As A Director, It's Humor - Because It's The Story Of My Life, And I Can't Be That Serious About It. Being Alone Is A Big Theme In All My Movies, Both As A Director And As An Actress.

It Was A Weird Moment In My Life And A Weird Experience [doing A Theater]. It Made Me Think, "gee, I Don't Know If I Ever Want To Do This Again." And I Love Theater. I Love Going. I Love The Experience Of Theater. But I Am Not Sure It's For Me.

Privacy Above All Else. Some Day, In The Future, People Will Look Back And Remember How Beautiful It Once Was.

What I Didn't Realize Is How Completely Consumed I Would Be By My Sons. I Didn't Know That The Rest Of My Life Would Become So Little A Priority.
