I Think It's Important To Have As

As An Actress, You Go Where The Stories Are. I Don't Really Care Where It's Seen, At This Point. I Just Want To Tell Good Stories And Do Good Roles That I Haven't Done Before.

There's A Scene [in The 1990 Film Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael] In My Bedroom Where I Start Eating Almond Roca. I Was So Young. It Was Before I Knew The Tricks Of Moviemaking, And I Didn't Know You Shoot A Lot Of Different Angles. I Gobbled Them And Didn't Realize I Had To Keep Doing It. So I Had To Eat 64 Almond Roca That Day. I Got So Sick. In The Beginning You're Like, 'ooh, That Looks Good.' But Hours Later, No.

I Was Exhausted And Going Through A Terrible Depression.

I Will Say, Though, That San Francisco Is A Very Friendly City. It's The Kind Of Place Where People Smile At You And You Can Strike Up Conversations On The Street, So There's Always An Adjustment When I Come Back To New York. If I Smile At Someone On The Street In New York, Then They Think There's Something Up - Like, "why Is She Smiling?"

I Think That As Actresses - And I've Definitely Gone Through This In A Really Bizarre Way, Because I Worked So Much And Was Really Lucky With The Roles That I Got When I Was Younger - I Remember Hearing The Older Actors Saying, "it Gets Tough," And Thinking, "really? I Can't Imagine."
