The only reason I'm an actor is that a lady pulled out of a parking space in front of a producer's office.

I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.

I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that.

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.

I was in the video for Cyndi Lauper's 'Sally's Pigeons' when I first started acting.

I was one of the first women producers in Hollywood.

I'm not really an actress type. I'm an entertainer.

I want to be the kind of actress where, if I'm in the press, I'm in for the right reasons - for my work. To be in the press about family drama is kind of embarrassing.

If you're a female and you get asked by someone who shoots the most beautiful female scenes to be in their film, it's kind of exciting.

I don't think of myself as an actress. I still think I'm fannying around in my mum's front room.
