Personal Quotes
I would straggle the line between being the bright and smart kid and trying to be
cool in the lunch room — that sort of thing.""I'm thinking about directing, but I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate what
directors do and I would like to be good at it. The opportunity has presented itself
four to five times, and I usually said no because of the script.""I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a movie whether it was
good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don't have any scenes with
them I thought it was pretty good company to keep."Natural hair color: Black; Eye color: Brown; Height: 5' 4" / 1.63cm;

Actors have no color. That's the art form.
I'm a big old egotistical baby and that's okay. I can accept it.
Nobody ever encouraged me in this business. I encouraged myself. I was a very dull
and shy child. I was the last person you would expect to be a success in this business.
But I always felt if I kept going something would happen. But I even surprised myself
at times. When I was doing ensemble theater and comedy work, I felt I had some
talents. But when I started doing my shows in Berkeley and found that I could be
funny on my own I was shocked.
