- Nov 07, 2020
The only place I've felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There's something in the water there that connects me to that place. There's also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I've never been able to shake.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part's not that great.
- Explanations
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are no explanations, there are no answers.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.
- Emotional
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.
- Expressed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once I started on 'Frances' I discovered it was literally a bottomless well. It devastated me to maintain that for eighteen weeks, to be immersed in this state of rage for twelve to eighteen hours a day. It spilled all over, into other areas of my life.
- Actress
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I didn't have children I'd be a much better actress. I wouldn't be so distracted. I could pour 100 percent of my energies into it, to promote the investigation which acting is.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.
- Blessing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Photography was a blessing because it filled my time.
- Over
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.
- Dark Side
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Box office success has never meant anything. I couldn't get a film made if I paid for it myself. So I'm not 'box office' and never have been, and that's never entered into my kind of mind set.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like playing characters who are out there on the edge, where they can explode at any moment or fall off the precipice.
- Some
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've worked with some teachers and coaches over the years, but I didn't really study theater or technique or voice or any of that stuff extensively.
- Emotions
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, acting was always a way to explore emotions - to dip into the well and really try to reach rock bottom down there. That was the most exciting part of it. I hadn't found anything that really allowed me to do that until I came upon acting.
- Dark
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never shot on sets, but if I was traveling somewhere or on location, I would always have my camera, and I'd always be - it's that kind of fly on the wall approach to photography, though. I don't engage the subject. I like to sneak around, skulk about in the dark.
- Process
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're really in the process of photographing, you are absolutely aware. You are looking.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's something magical still about it when I get in a darkroom, and you've shot a roll of film and you develop it and you look at your negatives, and there's, like, imagery there. That always stuns me.
- Extraordinary
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So much of my sense of who I am is tied to mothering. When they left home, I fell into a huge, empty, black hole. Your children are grown and your career has slowed down - all the stuff that took up so much attention is gone, and you're left with expansive time and space.
- Blessing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Photography was a blessing because it filled my time. If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.
- Person
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never been a sunny personality. I've never been outgoing. I'm a solitary person.
- Leadership
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To my mind the election was stolen by George Bush and we have been suffering ever since under this man's leadership.
- Forgiveness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.
- Hell
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Allow the diversity to exist. There is nothing wrong with it. Hell, we put up with the religious right-we can put up with transgendered human beings.
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because Shakespeare's language is so expansive, we're under this misconception that it's difficult. But I discovered that it's easy because it's so brilliantly written. The words are perfect, and the language is intelligent and very emotional.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.
- Growing Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.
- Dreams
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In families there is always the mythology. My father died when my kids were quite young still, and yet they still tell his stories. That is how a person lives on.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it.
- Modern
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was easier to do Shakespeare than a lot of modern movie scripts that are so poorly written.
- Love
