I Saw Leaving College As An Opportunity

As An Actor, I'm Attracted To Drama; As A Director, It's Humor - Because It's The Story Of My Life, And I Can't Be That Serious About It. Being Alone Is A Big Theme In All My Movies, Both As A Director And As An Actress.

I Was Never The Ingenue Or The Pretty Girlfriend Of Tom Cruise In A Movie. I Didn't Have That Career, So I Don't Have To Compete On That Level.

Everybody Reads For Me. I Was Never Weird About That. I Never Minded Coming In And Reading. They Should Know If I'm The Right Person, And I Should Know If I Want To Do A Movie.

I Made, Like, Five Movies While I Was In College. I Think They Just Weren't Memorable Movies. I've Taken Breaks As The Years Have Gone On - I Burn Out Every Once In A While.

As Time Goes On, I Will Play Characters Who Get Older: I Don't Want To Be Some Botoxed Weirdo.
