“If I had different parents who were in it for the money, I might have a differen…” — Laura Dern

It's my deepest interest as an actor: I love discovering how human beings work, how their flaws reveal themselves - how to learn and grow from that - and how characters teach me things as a woman and as a parent.

I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.

There are a lot more female writers wanting to direct their own material and hopefully will be given the opportunity.

I'm interested in human nature. That's why I chose to become an actor.
