Ellen Barkin Thinking Quotations

I'm tenacious, I think - I know - and I do also have a quality where if you tell me I can't do something, if I know I can't do it I'm the first to raise my hand and say, 'I can't do that.'

I'm Method trained. How is this character like me? What does she think of her mother? What does her mother think of her?
