As much as movies are about the words that you're saying, they're also about what's not said, the silent moments.

When I'm working, even though it's sometimes challenging and difficult, there's still no place I would rather be.

Often, when you're on a movie set, you're miserable. It's cold. You're hungry. You're tired. It's still dark out. And yet, there's no place I'd rather be. It's the happiest I am, and the most calm.

I definitely think independent film is very exciting, and you get to sometimes take bigger risks. So that's always a challenge and something that I look forward to.

The whole romantic part of my life was a wipeout. I didn't even own a belt.

I would love to have seen a male-female relationship that had nothing to do with falling in love, I'd love to prove, even on TV - even if it's not true! - that men and women can be friends without any kind of involvement.

My husband. He keeps me grounded. If I were in the world on my own, it would all be much more seductive. But I'm in a relationship that has nothing to do with the film world.

I think that's what makes a successful marriage: a mindful sense of self and the ability to make clear choices to stay together or choices not to.
