Every Experience Makes You Grow.

I See Myself At A Certain Age As Not Being Able To Play The Kind Of Parts That Would Keep Me Stimulated, And I Can't Imagine My Life Ending Professionally The Moment That I've Got To Go To The Plastic Surgeon And Have My Face Rearranged.

I Have Worked With Another First-time Director Who Was Not That Open, And It Was Probably One Of The Worst Experiences I Ever Had, So My Antennas Are Really Out.

I Did 'the Karate Kid,' Then I Just Went Back To College. I Didn't Know How Much Money It Made And I Didn't Have A Publicist. I Didn't Have Any Sense Of The Business Part Of It.

Growing Up With Three Boys In A Heavily Male-dominated World, I Especially Needed To Express Myself As A Woman.

I Try Really Hard To Give My Kids As Much Independence As I Can, Caring Mostly About Their Character: Are They Kind? Generous? Do They Work Hard?
