I don’t know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn’t even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.

In a lot of movies, you’ll see people on crazy dates, and you’re like, ‘No one would ever do that!’

Crazy Movies People
Every show is unique; some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that’s just the way they do things. It’s like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it’s due.

I’ve always had a really great time being in movies and writing music when I get home. The more creative I am, the more it feeds into other creative aspects of my life.

I feel like I can’t fully understand what’s happening now until I really understand what’s happened before. But you do get sort of bogged down a little bit when you’re trying to study so many years’ worth of music. It can be a little bit overwhelming.

I’d be more likely to go for somebody who is like me. Well, I like creative people, so whatever that means… Yeah, authentic and creative.

I was doing about five movies a year for many years. I was just so tired. I walked around feeling like a Mack truck hit me.

Feelings Tired Years
I played a lot of sarcastic, wisecracking characters for a long time, and people would think that was me. And it’s very much not me, and then people would think I was being sarcastic when I wasn’t: ‘Oh, you’re making fun of me right now.’ And I wasn’t!

It’s really fun to say no sometimes. I just don’t want to discount how fun it is to say no and exercise your right to say no, and – as a girl – it’s important to know how to say no… and that no means no!

If you can make a character likable that’s not very nice, that’s the challenge of the job.

Character Jobs Nice
Making movies, you’re like an independent contractor – you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.
