“What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.” — Claire Danes

When I was 18 I went to college for two years and didn't work for a year which was essential for me, because my identity had been so influenced by my being an actor and I think I just needed to discover what it was to be myself, divorced from all that responsibility.

You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film.

You don't realize how useful a therapist is until you see yourself on e and discover you have more problems than you ever dreamed of.

I have a huge, active imagination, and I think I'm really scared of being alone; because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll just turn into a madwoman.
