- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Going into my 20s, I was uncertain, trying to figure out what my relationship to acting is.
- Personality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd started acting as a child. But I wanted to see if it was something my true personality was interested in. I stepped away from offers when I took five years off to go to college. I've only really just decided to whole-heartedly embrace acting.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

I don't watch a lot of T.V. I only watch things via Netflix, so I only watch the things that I'm choosing to watch.

I curate my T.V.-watching quite carefully.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think being on a set where people aren't being treated as equals, and with just a common level of decency and respect, is really uncomfortable.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I basically took six or seven years off, but then I had another five or four of me not working at all because I was in school. It was really 13 years of me not working at all... I really couldn't even think about it.
- Green
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't know if I'd say I feel green, but I'm getting to know myself as an actor now in a way that I never did as a kid.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
- Person
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that every young person is a little mentally ill, you know? If we're not totally shutting down, we're all a little bit mentally ill in our twenties and maybe into our early thirties.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When people are struggling, that's a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't know how people do this waxing thing. Now I just have all these bumpy ingrown hairs.

There are really very few roles for women in films in which you can also make a living.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think it should be allowed for people to start working at a young age and not take the time to just be living as themselves in the real world, especially now in this new age of new media and the obsession with celebrity. I think it's a real crime.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I went to school to study literature and writing, even though I didn't end up really doing that in the end.

I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's funny because I grew up with the T.V. on 24 hours a day. And the more money I made, the more T.V.s we had.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I happened to work with sort of a bunch of slightly difficult male directors when I was a kid. I've since worked with lots of male directors that I love, so I no longer see the distinction gender-wise.

I am paid to dive deeper into my own humanity and do that with other people in collaboration... so that, in and of itself, I just feel like is the greatest privilege in the world.

- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up with artists and drag queens. These were just my neighbors and friends and the people who are raising me.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never set out to be an actor. Again, my mother presented this job by job to me at the time, and if it sounded fun, I would say yes and if it didn't, I would say no. I always knew, since I was 7 or 8 years old, that it was a means to an end and that I wanted to go to college.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I watched a lot of television as a kid, and the suburbs to me - that was exotic! Like, a mom and dad who lived in the same house and had jobs and cooked breakfast at the same time every morning and did laundry in a washing machine and dryer? That was like, 'Woah! Who are they? How do you get to be like that?'

The sleeplessness is proven; it eradicates your memory.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As an actress, vanity is your enemy. If you're thinking about how you look, you're not going to give a good performance. Once I realized, 'Hmm, I guess I'm not that vain,' it's like something I wanted to protect. I can't imagine anyone could give the full dynamic performance they're capable of and still be vain.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't intend to introduce food so early, but she became very interested at about 5 months, and I just gave her whatever sort of nutrient-rich food I had. Her first food was smoked trout.
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was obsessed with the idea of going to college. And I took many years off after that, so I sort of missed the weird, crazy transition that was what making movies was in the nineties to what's happening now.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just want my kids to have the space of childhood to explore themselves as fully as possible.

People ask me all the time, 'What is it like being on set for a show about trans people?' And this is a state of normalcy to me.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I certainly don't have any boundaries myself, but I think I'm very aware of other people's.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not one of those New Yorkers who so much identifies themselves with the city that they can't imagine living anywhere else. I plan to live a lot of other places, but it is defiantly is a big part of who I am. I have a complicated relationship with it. It has changed so much, but I love it, and it's my home. I'm really glad I grew up there.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just had fun making the movies - just being on set - but I didn't really care about the acting part.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm somebody who's super into psychology and analysis and the human psyche and the human experience.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't revisit anything unless there's a really good occasion, like BAM screened 'This Is My Life', with Lena Dunham and Nora Ephron before she died. It also screened 'Uncle Buck', so I took my niece. I don't have a TV, so I don't happen upon old movies like you would if you had cable.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never been on a television show as a regular before.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think sexuality is fluid, and we have such a strange relationship to it in this country. It's been so fixed and so controlled for so long.
- Person
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every scene is on the table to collaborate on, to pick apart, to try a million different ways. Usually, what ends up occurring in the end is something that no single person knew would happen or had planned for.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm interested in people. I'm curious about people, and of course we're curious about people whose work we respond to. So I'm not saying that I don't understand fascination with other people. But as it's dealt with in this American, modern-day culture, I find it not just boring but actually sort of destructive, really.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was anxious before I decided to go back to acting about what I wanted to do with my life. Once I realized I was sort of interested in acting, I've been pretty lucky and had all these great parts. And I feel pretty much like, 'What will happen will happen.'
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People would say, 'Can I hug you?' And I would say, 'Yes, you can hug me! We're fellow New Yorkers!'
- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Here in America, just as we see such incredible progress happening in one state, we see another state passing absolutely disgusting and oppressive laws against the rights of all sorts of people - transgender people, gay people, women.
- Cards
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I loved being on the set of 'Field of Dreams' because I hung out with the baseball players all day, played cards, flirted with Ray Liotta, and had a ball.
- Bored
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every once in a while, I would say, 'I don't want to do this anymore,' and I would go back to third grade, and after six months, I'd say, 'OK, I'm bored. Let's go make a movie.'
- Cindy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Her mother, Laurie Simmons, is a contemporary artist, and my stepmother, Cindy Sherman, is a photographer, so they've known each other forever. Lena and I were often at the same dinner parties when we were kids.
- Nov 07, 2020
We lived in a classless society. We'd spend a summer at Gore Vidal's house in Italy, but we were on and off welfare.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was never as famous as all these kids. There was no social media. We weren't celebrity-obsessed as a culture. I feel like these kids are under a crazy microscope; they're basically brands. And they eventually implode and act out. They need a break, and they're not getting one.
