We All Have Our Insecurity And That's

And If There's Anything Movies Can Do In A Way That I Just Love, And I Love As An Audience Is, "show Me Something I Don't Know About. Show Me Something I Haven't Seen."

I'm Just As Intrigued By Acting As Ever. It's An Ongoing Process. There's No Arrival. There's No Point At Which You Say "oh, Ok, Done It, Got It." It Just Doesn't Happen. And That's True Of Any Creative Endeavor. For Me, It's Just A Lifelong Interest. I'm Very Much Interested In The Craft. I Started By Doing Plays And It Took Me A Long Time To Feel Comfortable Doing Movies, Working With Cameras. I Felt Like I Was A Theater Actress Pretending That I Was A Movie Actress For Quite A While. Now, I Just Love The Process Of Working With Cameras And Being On A Set And Trying To Put A Film Together.

People Always Ask Us Women About How We Balance Our Lives. Rarely Do They Ever Ask Men This But We Are Asked This And It Makes A Lot Of Sense - Balance, Right? It Sounds Right. And Of Course You Do Have To Balance Because Otherwise You'd Go Crazy. And You Do Have To Find Ways Of Doing Things In A Sensible Manner, Raising Children And All Those Choices. But Then There's A Part Of Creativity Which Is Irrational And Which Is Obsessive And Then That's Also Part Of What We Do. So, I Don't Think That's A Bad Thing. I Think That's Part Of What Makes Someone Good.

I Don't See Myself As Competing With Other Actresses. I Mean, I Went Through A Time When I Was In New York, And I Was Going To Lots Of Auditions And Trying To Get Parts, But Even Then, You're Not Really Competing With The Other Actresses. There Is A Competition Going On, But It's Not Like Something You Can Win In That Way.

We All Perform Our Lives In A Way. And The Actor Is A Perfect Metaphor To Get At That Theme Of "how Do We Find Our Authentic Selves?" And That We All - Whether We're Actors Or Not - Perform Ourselves. As A Way Of Searching. As A Way Of Fumbling Around And Trying To Say, Is This My Voice? Is This Who I Am?
