Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

I've never found that it jars to go back and forth.

I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be.

Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavoury.

I'm not looking at money, percentage points or grosses. This is my life, you know? To me, every day matters.

I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience.

As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.

Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability.
