"I sort of spend every moment that I'm not working doing things with my son. You do the best you can,..." — Jennifer Jason Leigh

I'm so different to the roles I play, and perhaps that's why they are appealing to me as an actor. But I would never want to inhabit my characters' shoes in real life.

I used to go to Haagen-Dazs and order three banana splits at a time!

Being a good girl means suppressing a lot.

My mom's a screenwriter, and before that, she was an actress, and my father was an actor; my stepfather was a director, so I was on sets a lot as a kid. I loved the magic of the set. You walk in, and it's a living room, and you walk outside, and it's just a piece of wood held up by another piece of wood.
