For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his parents' house and we slept on pillows.

Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same.

I was traveling in Europe with Paul and suddenly realized my passport still said I was Mrs. Sampson.

I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.

Having been an actress before becoming a producer has helped, because I realize the needs.

In school the kids thought I was freaky because I made straight A's and daydreamed a lot.

But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.

But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.

Bernard and I intend doing a lot with our lives and that includes actively helping other people. But how can we tell you our plans when we haven't finished making them yet?

Anyway, I went out and bought thousands of dollars worth of mature clothes so I'd look like a person to be taken seriously, instead of a pretty little twit.

And of course, now that Bernard and I have found each other forever, we're determined to create our own little world in order to survive the one we're in.

When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston.

I'm one of those people who thinks you can have a happy life and still be an artist.

In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.

You don't direct ostriches, you herd them.
