You'll be offered the 'lead' in this new hot film with such-and-such A-list director, 'a fabulous part' - a fabulous part? A fabulous part is a character with a soul, who starts here and goes to there, you know? There aren't many of those.

I've got the sort of personality that requires me to find some sort of release, and for me, it's performing.

Laura Dern -
At the end of the day, you have to sit with the scripts and decide where your heart is.
Laura Dern -
I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films.
Laura Dern -
I know that I've seen a mannerism, or a way I've cried, or something, where I see a flash of my parents.
Laura Dern -
I like to be a little bit of a rebel as an actor, so I am interested in the unpopular person and the lesser-understood character. It's a bold choice to try to find empathy in an unlikeable place in storytelling.
