Whatever the future holds I'm not really sure.
I'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.
The beauty of age is we grow, we learn. We have more wisdom.
My gift to my children would be from me to be as honest and true to myself as an artist, and put that out there to the best of my ability.
It's so nice not to worry about myself anymore. I only worry about my children.
Being a mother for me was like, "Oh, this is what I've been looking for my whole life." This brings me a sense of completion. I never knew I would love this deeply.
Life is really beautiful.
I am anxious to see what life is going to bring next.
Now I just feel like I'm more open to life. I have two children.
The truth is, I was always picky anyway.
I'm 51 now, so there are less roles available.
For me acting is pretending. It's illuminating my human struggle - trying to grow and have the courage to be filmed while figuring things out.
Even if your work touches one person, that's an amazing gift.

Instead of making Friday The 13th, Part VIII or whatever, I was making the girl-meets-boy, girl-meets-girl-dressed-as-boy movie. It was fun. I liked it. It's goofy. I look back at myself and think, "What the hell was I doing?"
I remember my agent at the time called me and was like, "I've got it! I've found it! I've found your role!" I worked my ass off to get that role, because I think me and three or four other girls tested for it. But it was a great time.

That was cool, getting to work with Ryan Gosling. I knew he was going to be a huge star after I saw him in that Showtime thing that he did when he was really young [The Believer]. I think the most fun thing about that was I'd never seen somebody that had so many questions about the specifics of everything: where you ate, how much you ate, how much you drank. He's very special.
I got Twin Peaks, and the part was basically written for me, which was a really big shock.

I just was in classes with her.
