I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.
From Frances McDormand
It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what I do in my life: I support my son.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.
It's a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you've been trained as a classical theatre actor. There's always a depression in the theatre.
There's only two givens with choosing acting as a profession: one is you will always be unemployed, always, and it doesn't matter how much money you make, you're still always going to be unemployed; and that you have no power.
