Minnie Driver

Minnie: (on the prospect of raising her child alone) It's great to be an independent creature. Today you don't need a man anymore. In the old days, have a baby without marriage and people would put you out. Today you speak about it on talk shows. I'm very into feeling this female thing.

Minnie: (message to young girls) Your inside has to be developed and tended to and looked after. It's harder to love yourself, take care of yourself, to respect yourself, and be good to yourself. We're all going to get old, saggy, and everything is going to fall apart, so what's the point if you base your whole life around being pretty, thin, and beautiful. It would be monstrous.

Minnie: I can't imagine not making records and playing for people. It's so much a part of my life and who I am.
