I'm Very Competitive, I Think.

I'm The Mother Of Two Daughters, One Of Whom Is Going To Get Possessed. It's Really Spooky And Great. I'm Shooting It Right Now. That's Why I'm In Chicago. I Wanted To Tell You About The Other Direction That This Trying-to-get-more-female-characters Thing Has Taken, Which Is That I Launched My Own Film Festival Last Year.

Because I Had Some Roles That Resonated With Women, I Immediately Noticed That There Were Far More Male Characters Than Female Characters In What We're Showing Little Kids In The 21st Century, Which Was Stunning To Me. But I Couldn't Find Anybody Else Who Noticed.

The Thing I Noticed, Have Learned The Most About Directors, Is: When They're Very Confident In Themselves, They're Open To Creativity From Other People. If They're Scared Or Nervous, Then They Shut Off And Nobody's Ideas [count].

I Was Tall From Minute One. Always The Tallest Kid By A Large Margin. And My Fantasy Was To Take Up Less Space In The World.

It's A Horrible And Wonderful Battle With Yourself, To Stay Calm, Stay In The Moment. My Coach Said, "stay Here, Not At The Target. Don't Be Down There." It's Why They Call It The Zen Art.
