So after the Shadows he acted and directed. And it worked out very nicely. And he wrote, obviously.

People in independent film have a passion; they're not in it for the money.

You just can't complain about being alive. It's self-indulgent to be unhappy. When asked how she has coped since husband's death.

I love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.

It was more freedom than I think most people get when they're starting out - or even when they're not starting out. He [John Cassavetes] did his thing and I did whatever I thought.

If I have something I like to forget, then I forget it.

Never in my life have I ever even thought about anything else [ being anything other than an actress].

When I went to my parents I was at the University of Wisconsin, and I just couldn't wait anymore to go be an actress.

I loved Bette Davis when I was little and when I was big and when I got old.

Expectation is faith in motion: you expect the things you hope for to happen.

I'm not a legend or a hero, I don't slay dragons, I don't do any of the things that a real hero can. But I can make things better, one day at a time, for most of the kingdom.

I don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.

The Chichen Itza is just a pyramid with four sides, with stairs on each side leading to some kind of bungalow on the top.

I loved doing Supergirl, but I would love to do Batgirl. I would absolutely love to do a live-action Batgirl!

I like the idea of growing old gracefully and full of wrinkles... like Audrey Hepburn.

Trends don't mean very much to me. They come, they go, they turn around.
