- Your favorite role is always the one you're working on at that moment, but I will never forget the experience of working on "Better Than Chocolate". A lot of people write to me saying they could really relate to Maggie and that it had a really positive impact on their self-esteem and relationship with their mothers.
- All my brothers were named after the Boston Bruins. Brad (Park), Barry (Beck), Paul (Hurley). I'm surprised they didn't call me Bobby.
- I knew I wanted to do "Better Than Chocolate" before I even read the script. When I heard Anne Wheeler was directing it, I knew it was going to be special.
- I never played dolls or house when I was growing up. I had four younger siblings, so, naturally, I was busy staging musicals.
- The other day a woman asked me, "Were you queer before you did" Better Than Chocolate", or did you become queer for the part?" It's flattering that nobody believes I'm straight anymore. It tells me I must have done something right. But I am considering "coming out" as a straight woman.
- Growing up, I was always doing Theatre. But for a short time I almost convinced myself I wanted to be a Journalist... right after I saw Holly Hunter in "Broadcast News". Then I considered the FBI... right after I saw Jodi Foster in "Silence of the Lambs". When I finally told mom I wanted to pursue acting as a career she didn't bat an eyelash. She just gave me a look that said, "Really? What was your first clue?".
