Also everyone’s hearts are in the right place when you do a small movie. You’re not doing it for the money; you’re not doing it for the possibility of an Oscar nomination. You are doing it because you love the material.

I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I wouldn’t do them. And I don’t want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.

We [her and her husband, Kevin Bacon] don’t do what we do for awards, we do it for the pleasure of acting. However, I’d love to win an Oscar. I went to Susan Sarandon‘s. Her office has a small bathroom. All over the wall, all the way up, are her awards.

I enjoy fans coming over. I don’t do this job and then look to run away from people and hide behind security. I love what I do. If a good play came along I’d grab it, but what I really want is more films. I’m a workhorse actor.
