In My First Few Years As An

Every Time You Start A New Job, You're Starting From The Beginning Again And It's Terrifying. And You Feel Like You're Going To Be Fired And Told To Go Home And Never To Darken The Doors Of These People Ever Again.

I'm A Dual Citizen, As Are My Husband And Children. We Have Got Eight Passports Between Us; We're Weighed Down By Them Whenever We Go Anywhere.

The Ratings Thing Is The Real Issue. It Really Hurts Movies. For Example, In Redbelt, I Smoked. The Whole Plot Of My Character Was Based On The Fact That I Was A Smoker. And Then They Discovered That Just By Having Someone Smoking In The Movie, It Immediately Makes The Rating An R. So They Had To Cut Out Every Shot Where I Had A Cigarette In My Hand And It Totally Affected The Performance. That Was Very Frustrating To David Mamet As Well. I Can Remember Him Saying, "it's A Nightmare."

It's Quite Frightening; The Business Of Trying To Be Funny Is Very Hairy. In Comedy, The Potential For Humiliation Is Huge. Trying To Be Funny And Failing Is About The Most Embarrassing Thing You Can Do.

I Think Georges Feydeau Said Comedy Is Just Tragedy Speeded Up.
