It's such a great feeling to make people laugh. I know I've made people cry or want to slit their wrists, but to make people laugh is a very intoxicating, wonderful thing.
From Joan Allen
I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times. We all do.
I was a very good girl for a long time, that's what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous, to be sad, to be angry, to be all these different things.
Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful, even if it was just vicariously.
Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.
I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.
I think that I do separate myself a fair amount. And I don't feel like I am representing women. That's up to however people interpret it once they sort of see it.
I don't have a political bone in my body.
I'm hard to pin down. I tend to look different in films.
I think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it.
