“My mother raised me and there was some painful and difficult times, because she was pursuing a career and also very actively involved in expressing her political views. But, looking back, I wouldn't switch her for a normal mom, even though there were moments when I'd come back from school and wish she'd just be there in a gingham dress putting dinner on the table. I never had that. But now I'm really glad I have her.”
“I loved hanging around movie sets when I was a kid," she told the Orange County Register. "I loved the whole world. I loved the way a movie crew becomes an extended family. And I loved the idea of dressing up in costumes and playing a character. I remember being moved by great performances, and often those performances where given by my mother, so I guess you could say she influenced me in that way.”
“They say a movie takes either five months or five years to get made, but this took considerably longer and many, many struggles along the way. So it was a miracle that it ever got made and that I got to be in it.”
“I think it's just how it was meant to be. You can say it would have been a different film. As it is, this is the movie we made and the past is the past.”
