I think Nancy Reagan felt so judged all the time and she felt so unlovable.

I was in film before I was on stage. I started acting when I was like 12. But, no, I think my mother indoctrinated me very early.

The idea of making access to safe abortions harder and more expensive and more difficult, having to travel across state lines - that puts women's health and lives in jeopardy, which is something I think no one wants.

Eleanor Roosevelt was painfully shy, painfully shy. So she overcompensated. In the same way that Nancy [Reagan] felt unattractive and unlovable and so everything had to be - hair had to be perfect, and the makeup and the clothes. Because she thought, "They don't think I'm pretty."

What was really great with Eleanor [ Roosevelt] - I mean, of course, we all have this stereotypical, really satirical almost, version of how she speaks. What was really interesting to me was I found various radio and TV appearances of hers, but there was one talk show that I saw her on; she was the only woman, it was all men. They were talking about policy - I think it was after she was First Lady. I think it was more in the U.N. days.

I think Tim Matheson is amazing and I think he's amazing in this - I haven't seen the film [Killing Reagan] since we shot it, but I think he's just incredible.

When [Nancy Reagan] was presented with people who she really felt like weren't going to [judge her], there was such a floodgate of affection and warmth and physical affection that, most of the time, was kept at bay because, "Oh, someone's going to say something." I think that [because of] so many things that happened to her in her childhood, but also in the press.

I think it was interesting to be steeped in that [political] world.

I think my least healthy habit is running around too much. And I think I'm getting better about it as I'm getting older.
