I Was Inspired By Lots

There's Like This Great Thing That Bette Davis Said When Someone Asked Her, "how Do You Get Into Hollywood?" "take Fountain!"

My Parents Really Instilled This Idea In Me Of Being Your Own Person, Almost To The Extent That I Couldn't Do Wrong. I'd Get A Bad Grade And They'd Be Like, "no! What You Did Was Great!"

In Retrospect, I Went To Jane Fonda For Literally Everything. During Mermaids, We Were Staying In The Same Building, So She Was Right Upstairs From Me. I Was In My First Relationship, So I Got All Sorts Of Advice. She Became Famous In Her Late Teens.

I Am Not A Person Who Can Really Sit Around And Think About Regrets Because With Every Bad Experience That You Have, There Is Weirdly Something Good That Comes From It.

I Was Very Obsessed With Ruth Gordon. I Really Didn't Foresee Me Having Any Type Of Career As A Leading Lady At All Because It Was Just Blonds. I Just Wasn't The Type - I Was Told That By Casting Directors. I Auditioned For Running On Empty [1988] And The Mosquito Coast [1986], And Martha Plimpton Was Just Killing Me.
