Penelope Ann Miller

The film business has changed so dramatically from when I started.

I had a family, I had children, I got married. My ambition changed.

Luckily because I had a family and children, my priorities changed. I mean, I'm very passionate about my work but I have other interests and other things that balance my life.

Now I'm the go-to-girl for silent films.

If there's something decent going in television, the mediums now are kind of equal. Television has become much higher quality.

The thing is, you don't want to overact or be full of yourself.

I look to longevity. I just consider myself an actress and getting good roles. If being a 'superstar' gets me good roles, then that's a positive thing. But my goal isn't just to be a superstar. It's to act for a long time.

There are great characters on television.

I'm just looking for a kind of project that will have a decent role and is something that I'll really enjoy doing. There are a lot more opportunities in television.

Harvey Weinstein bought our film, and he's an animal. He's got us out there campaigning and everything because honestly it's a silent black-and-white film.

Now with tabloids and seeing people walking around in sweats pumping gas you're like, 'Okay, they're just like us.'

The whole point is to hook people and keep them interested.

I don't want to work all of the time.

I did not get Botox because you wouldn't see any expression in my face. Hopefully it has paid off.
