I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.

If I were to work with my mom, I probably would not want her to play my mom. That would get too real.

And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.

I wanted to play a mother again. I thought it would be interesting to play the mother of an older child. And it was also the kind of part I've been looking for my whole career, actually, in film. You know, just to play a femme fatale who's very smart, and wicked.

I love playing moms. It's a lot easier than being a mom, I hear.

I don't remember my mother ever playing with me. And she was a perfectly good mother. But she had to do the laundry and clean the house and do the grocery shopping.

I've always believed that if you are willing to play your age that you will work, so it's the thing of continuing to play your age and accepting it when you're younger and you suddenly realize, 'Oh, now I'm playing the mom,' 'Oh, I'm playing the grandma.'

Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.

An agent saw one of the plays I did at ACT, but my mom was like, No, she's too young. I became so annoying that a year and a half later she just couldn't stand hearing me any more!
