Parents Can Be Very Influential

You'd Think With All The Magazines And The Covers And All The Sexy Stuff I've Done, That That's Hugely A Part Of Me. But Even Though I've Played Those Roles And I've Dressed Up And Been On The Covers Of These Things And Done This And That, It Is All Such Pretense. So I Just Thought, "i Can't Be One Of Those Girls. I Wear Bib Jeans. I Don't Wear Underwear Like That. I Don't Move In The World Like That." You Know, I'm More Bare-footed Rastafarian, Crazy.

I Think My Mother Had A Lot Of Opportunity When She Was A Kid. She Was A Model, And She Did A Lot Of Things In Her Life, But She Had No Real Ambition. I Think My Mother Really Did Want A Home And Kids And All Of That.

I've Played A Mother Many Times, Even In Tragic Things Like, "i Dreamed Of Africa," So I Know How It Is To Lose A Child Cinematically. I Have So Much Compassion On So Many Fronts, For Women Who Have Lost Children Or Tried For Years And Couldn't Have Them.

My Dad Studied At The American Conservatory In Chicago, So He Lived On All Those Streets. He Said The War Probably Saved His Life Because He'd Have Ended Up A Dead Musician, With All The Crazy Stuff They Did On Rush Street Back In The Day.
