If My Career Were A Hairstyle, It

Unfortunately, Overall, Movies Are A Conglomerate. People Buy And Sell People In This Business, Which Can Get Really Ugly Unless You Have The Right Set Of Values And Understand Why You're Doing It. Luckily, I Was Raised By People Who'd Already Gotten To That Point, And Seen All The Yuck Stuff - Which Is Probably Why They Originally Didn't Want Me To Act.

I'm Very Connected To My Own Family, And Maybe I Like To Explore The Feelings That Come Up In Families. I'm Fortunate That My Parents Taught Me To Look Further Into Why I Might Feel A Certain Way; It Was Normal To Expose Things.

There Was A Television Show Called The Innocents Of Hollywood. Brooke Shields Is A Friend Of Mine And She Saw One Of The Introductions To It, And She Called Me And Said, "i Think You Better Check This Out." And On This Show They Talked About Parents Who'd Ripped Off Their Kids. One Of Them Said, "my Mother Stole $300,000 From Me As A Child." Well, My Mother Opened A Bank Account For Me When I Made $60 On My First Day Of Work As An Extra. She's That Kind Of Mother. But God Knows What People Will Say When This Movie Comes Out.

I'd Never Done Nudity In A Movie; I've Never Sort Of Condoned It For Myself, But David Lynch Wanted It, And I Was Completely Comfortable With It Because That Love Story Was So Protected. There's Never A Moment Where You Feel Anything Is Exploited.

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington Is One Of The Greatest Films Of All Time.
