I Was Inspired By Lots Of People,

In The '80s, I Loved The Movies Of The '70s. Also I Remember Loving Klute [1971]. I Loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I Auditioned For The Last Movie She Made Before She Retired For A While, Stanley And Iris [1990], Which Martha Plimpton Got.

Bette Davis In All About Eve Was Huge For Me. Her Acting Was Staggering.

I Remember Realizing, When I Did Little Women [1994], That That Was The Only Time Girls That Age Were Being Written About. It Was Always Boys - From David Copperfield To Lord Of The Flies To Holden Caulfield. There Were Never Young Women Going Through Adolescence Or Teen Years; There Were Only Little Girls.

I'm Quite Comfortable Looking At Myself In Movies, Probably Because I've Been Doing It For So Long, Since I Was A Kid. So I Sort Of Watched Myself Grow Up And Go Through Adolescence, Like, Basically On Camera.

I Think It's Really Important To Have A Life Outside Of This [movie] Business And Just Be The Best Person You Can Be.
