Quotes:
  • We were all black and white challenged. We all had these color charts, for the tonal quality of the film. They shot on color but transferred it to black and white.
  • In 1940s film, actors wore green makeup because it gave it a tonal quality, so I often felt like I was in a kabuki play. I wasn't wearing green, but it was much more [makeup] than I usually wear.
  • Those roles weren't just mothers in a story about a male protagonist. First they were specific, three-dimensional people. - on playing 'mothers'
  • The fact that I'm sleeping with the director may have something to do with it. - on how she got the part in Fargo (1996)
