I'm about to act with Robert Redford and can't stop thinking about this wonderful heartbreaking film. It was unflinching in its look at a family quietly coming apart at the seams – Mary Tyler Moore's portrayal of the mother was brilliant.

Timothy Hutton turns in one of the best male performances I’ve ever seen. And that family dynamic was so subtle in what could have been a really angsty movie.

I was watching things like Kramer vs. Kramer [1979], Ordinary People [1980], and Raging Bull [1980]—all these movies that were getting made right around then that were amazing.

He [Robert Redford] directed my all time favorite movie – Ordinary People.

promotion is hard and feels like soul-sucking hell. Other than that it's lovely. Favourite movies: Badlands, Stalker, Graduate, Days of Heaven, Old Boy, Mirror, In the Mood for Love, Happy Together, Punch Drunk Love, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Master & Commander, Harold & Maude, Last Detail, Being There, Coming Home, Alice Doesn't Live here Anymore, Flash Gordon (the Queen one), Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Princess Bride, Life of Brian, Cannonball Run, Tootsie, Trading Places, Fucking Amal, Chinatown, All the President's Men, Ordinary People, Local Hero, and of course, Twilight Breaking Moon. Oh no wait, I hate that movie.
