I Just Don't Plan Things. I Live

I'm A Typical Middle Child. I'm The Mediator. The One That Makes Everything Ok, Puts Their Own Needs Aside To Make Sure Everybody's Happy. It's Hard To Change Your Nature, Even With Years And Years Of Therapy.

Children Accept Their World As The World. I Grew Up Like Kids That I Went To School With. Their Parents Were Either Shrinks Or Actors.

I'm Not Necessarily Less Gratified By Films Where You're Given Less Room To Maneuve. Because I Love A Great Script, And I Love To Respect It, And I Love To Try To Give A Director What He Needs And Wants, Especially Having Directed Now. [laughs.] I'm Much More Open To Try To Give Him What He Wants And Figure It Out. I Like Working With Directors I Respect And Admire, Obviously. And Everybody Has Their Own Way.

In Some Ways, You're Always Redefining Your Craft And Figuring It Out, But In Some Ways, I Almost Feel I'm Going Back To What I Was Doing 20 Years Ago.

I Hope My Talent Has Something To Do With It. I Just Think This Business Is So Crazy. I Obviously Do The Best I Can, And The Directors I Admire See Something In Me. But This Is A Strange Business, And There Are People Who Are Incredibly Talented Who Never Make It, Who Never Get These Opportunities. So That's Why I Say I'm Lucky. I Don't Feel That I'm Not Talented - I Think I Am Talented - But I Also Think I'm Very Lucky.
