Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.

Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.

I seem to play a lot of losers.

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.

There's a point where art is not subjective, and my example for that is Picasso. If you don't like Picasso, that's your problem.

In a way, all actors are gypsies, or much like a traveling circus.

I consider myself a storyteller, not really even an actor. I consider myself a storyteller.

I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.

The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.

If you fail today there is always tomorrow to try again. You always have that second chance tomorrow.

The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.

My husband and I went to Bald Head Island for our four-year anniversary. We spent the night in bed with champagne, tequila and Krispy Kreme doughnuts and watched a boxing match on Showtime.

I don't eat vegetables. I only eat food like cheeseburgers, Spam, hot dogs and pizza.

Since biblical times, and probably before, the wealthy have been envied and condemned.

Men have no right to put the well-being of the present generation wholly out of the question. Perhaps the only moral trust with any certainty in our hands is the care of our own time.

Now success was like lust, she's good to the touch, She's good for the moment, but she's never enough

Well, I don't want to be king, I want to be real.

My biggest challenge is trust, and really believing that trust, in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I'm getting better at it.

My paintings are not meant to be tasted.
