“Right now, and you did that. I said to her, you know, there's no way we can go back. I think we have to sit down like two adults. And talk about who we are and what happened just frankly, really frankly, the whole truth. And I was so devastated to learn her story of a depression era girl with rickets and scurvy. Sister who was killed by a drunk driver knocked right out of her hand and two other sisters that were terribly abused and beaten and a mother who walked five miles to the welfare office to come home with 50 cents. I learned a lot.”

“I wrote my first full draft of the book and then I read it to her and then I recorded her talking to me for a couple hours and then I went back and rewrote the book with her story in it. And then I knew my mom as an adult woman to an adult woman, and I understood the whole damn thing. And I realized that we were going to need each other. To figure it out and get through it, and we decided that we too were going to break the chain.”

“Well, Oprah Winfrey, you did the same thing. And I watched you go through it and I saw that it was not an easy journey because people want to make women or the men that this has happened to feel like somehow it's their fault or that there's no one to tell or that you will be hurt by telling your true story. And I think what we need to know now is that there are so many other people. My story is not so different than anybody else's story except in the end my job has a bigger window.”

“That person is more powerful. So here's that oppression. And I started thinking about all these different things. And then you get to be 60 and you have that second big understanding of life and that big understanding of self. And then that big understanding of the world as a whole, this is the second time then that you're really powerful. And no, I'm not going to let my radiance be taken away again. No, no, not this time. This time. I love that.”

“I made a painting exactly where I got out of bed in the middle of the night. I had this dream. I got up and painted and I made this painting called What Makes Women. And I redlined around the word woman because I really felt I was being redlined as a woman. And I started thinking about this so deeply and specifically. What Black Lives Matter has done for me is teach me so much about the just oppression in general, just oppression of anyone that anyone sees as more powerful than they are and more powerful in any way. There is this type of redlining that occurs. And it's like, of course people saw black people as more powerful. Of course people saw women in this way as more powerful. Of course people see”

“So there's this white male suppression. And so you're told you have no power now. You're not attractive now. You're less now. And so there's this thing that you just get hit with and hit with and hit with that's supposed to silence you. And I think that this is incredibly planned prepared and oppressive, specifically so that women don't gain their own power.”

“I think that as we grow older, we have this societal pressure where people start to try to tell us that our worth is diminished. And I think that this is a time in our life when our worth is the most enhanced. I think when we're 40 as women, we get to this incredibly powerful place. And it's the time when I have to say that I believe the white male society starts to tell women you don't have worth. Is the first time when you're 40 when you're told you're worth becomes less. And I believe that's because it's the first time in your life when your worth becomes so much more. You become the most powerful you've ever been.”

“Think we don't have any idea in the moment of these transitory moments in our life. I don't think we have any idea when fame hits us in the face what's happening. I don't think we have any idea until years later that these are the moments. And I think even the horrible moments, I don't think we have any idea until years later how funny they are going to be.”

“And I thought I did nail that scene to the floor. They're not going to cut this scene. So I think what I'll really do is just Shoot it right through the heart. And I think I'm going to take this risk. I think I'm going to jump off the waterfall.”

“So, oh, yes, we will and will do whatever we want and you don't have an opinion. And basically the Eurogirl so shut up. So I went home and I thought about it and I thought, I'm going to have to have a fight, but I do have the ability to stop it. And I gave it a few days. And I remember when I started working on the script and my teacher said, you know, they're going to cut this scene out of the movie unless every single second of the scene is so specific they can't afford to lose it. So you better be the best you've ever been in this scene. You better nail this scene to the floor.”

“Yes, I was so shocked. I went up to the projection booth and slapped the director and went to the car and called my lawyer and said, my God. And he said, don't even worry about it. They're not going to be able to release it because 25 years ago, that would have been a triple X. So I was like, okay, cool. So I called the director and I'm like, you can't release it anyway. It's a triple X. So forget it.”

“Well, in the sequence, what I wore the day that we were shooting, I had, because the dress was white, I had a white thong underwear on. When we were shooting the scene, we'd shot a couple of takes, and the director said to me, we're seeing it. It's glowing white when you cross your legs. It's hitting the light. It's hitting it too much, and we can see you have underwear. If you take them off, we won't see anything, it'll just be a shadow, but we will that you don't have underwear. I said, okay, I took them off. We did the scene. The movie was done. I wasn't shown the film with just the cast or by myself. I was shown the film with a bunch of Century City attorneys, like a full screening room.”

“Well, when I read the script, I watched a lot of film on serial killers, talking about their stories, why they did it, why they were glad they were in prison, what they were doing. And I started putting a lot of these things together from, I'm a big researcher when I do parts. And what I believed about the character was that she believed that what she was doing was right and valid and that there was a reason for it, but that she lost all sense of moral certitude, real, right and wrong, because it had been taken away from her. That was something that I needed to work out for me so that I could play the part thoroughly.”

“I had no idea who my mother was. I had no idea about anything because my grandfather threatened to kill me if I said anything to anyone. And that threat was reinforced and reinforced and reinforced and reinforced. So even though as a kid growing up, I shared a room with my sister. I couldn't tell her. So I had a separate childhood from my sister. I was very separate from everyone because when you're carrying the threat that someone's going to kill you, you don't really share your life with people.”

“Well, I have to say that those meetings are exceptionally private and it's run normally by a trained professional. They're a little different than other kind of 12-step meetings. And in those meetings were doctors, lawyers, police people. There were a lot of people who took positions of authority. I found, and I was really surprised, and it gave me a whole different perspective on how to address and deal with this and to release my own shame because it's not my shame.”

“My grandmother assisted my grandfather. My grandfather was a pedophile. But my grandfather beat my grandmother nearly every day of her life. My mother told me that the last time she saw my grandfather alive, he'd beaten my grandmother so badly that her face was black and blue. She had handprints around her neck, and her arms and her legs were black and blue. He died a couple of weeks later, and my mother said that she was so glad that he died because she had such a rage that she wanted to kill him. But my grandmother was so beaten down by my grandfather that she Not only did not protect us, she stood by as he was abusing. Certainly.”

“Well, for me, that was a character that I played. But in the business, they want you to keep being a thing that worked. And for me, that was a character. And that was a character that for me was far afield. But we also decided that if we made my PR personality like me, the girl that sits at home and reads books, that wasn't going to be a very interesting cell. So we chose a kind of PR personality for me that was also...”

“Well, by that time, I had been bleeding into my brain for probably a week. And I had been on deluded 24-7. So whatever it was, it also saved my life because my dad had brought me a teddy bear. And so I slid to the side of the bed and I stuffed the teddy bear in behind my neck so that I couldn't move. So that I did what the apparition of my grandmother told me to do. And I believe it saved my life because it was my vertebral artery that was ruptured here in the back of my neck. And by the time I actually did get the surgery that I needed, my artery was just hanging by a very fine thread. And I was so close to death when they finally did decide that they would grant me a second operation. And found it and saved my life after a very long surgery of implanting coils in the back of my neck where the artery used to be.”

I think she did, and he told the orderly, take her back to her room. And he said You are not allowed to do that. And she said, sir, she's cognizant, she's speaking fluidly. She knows what she's talking about. She's going back to her room, sir, until we discover what she”

“Than he is in being a good doctor to me. And so I looked at him and I realized, oh my God, I'm in terrible trouble. Then suddenly all the nurses and all the order, everybody came running out because it was such a scene. And I said, I need you to explain to me what exploratory surgery is. And he said, and I need you to lay down and do what I'm telling you to do”

“And I said, but stop, someone has to explain this to me. No, there's no time. No, there's no time. And he said, no, the doctor's already ordered it. And I said, stop, stop, stop. And he wouldn't stop the gurney. And so I realized the only way I could get him to stop was if I stood up on the gurney. And at this point, I'd already been bleeding into my brain for probably. I think at least four days. I just didn't know what else to do. And so I kind of pulled myself up on my knees and of course my gown is flapping open and my ass is hanging out. And the doctor came running down the hallway and he had this fact and he kept, he's yelling at me and he's telling me to sit down and do what he's telling me to. And then he took the facts and he goes, I have a fax from People magazine. And that's when I realized that he was not right.”

I was so shocked and I just thought, oh no, this can't be me. Oh no. And I said, but why? But wait. And he said, we can't wait, or we'll lose the operating room.”

“Yeah, and I think for some of us, we are a little bit luckier than others. I feel this situation with the increase in poverty and the decrease in empathy that we have so much to learn. And I feel that this is the benefit of COVID, that we have learned about each other because we've had to learn about ourselves. All of these different movements that have happened during this time have been extraordinarily educational. I think we've learned so much through Black Lives Matter. And I think just the very fact that we now know what redlining actually is and we start to understand the way that our country has been divided and we're forced to sit down, stay at home and actually learn something has been so beneficial to us as a nation.”
