I've mainly been in dramas, so this is one of my first comedy kind of performances in Cecil B. Demented.
He was such a fabulous drama coach. What better person to have than Alfred Hitchcock? His work as a director was impeccable. I learned so much.
I'm working at trying to be a Christian, and that's serious business. It's like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy - it's serious bus...

The real zombie-apocalypse is the pandemic of drama and mediocrity.
Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life. When you're young, you have no worries, no drama, only your imagination. It's the best!
