Citations
[Sur comment et a pris part à Fargo (1996)] "Le fait de dormir avec le réalisateur a pu peser dedans."

Sur le fait de jouer des 'mères': "Those roles weren't just mothers in a story about a male protagonist. First they were specific, three-dimensional people."

Sur les "films de femmes": "Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down. I cry too, maybe three times a week, but it's not in closeup. It's a wide shot. It's in the context of a very large and very mean world."

"I'm a character actress, plain and simple...Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again."
