I'm a horror movie fan to begin with, so to come back to the genre, I feel like horror has been very good to me.

I heard I'm going to have scenes with Lady Gaga so I'm hoping it's true. I know of one scene I have.

The problem I have these days is that women are often cast in a role - as a police officer, for example - and then are invariably perceived by the other characters as succeeding in a man's job, as if they're doing it in spite of being women.

I try to always stretch myself to fit the characters that have been presented.

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.

It was also wonderful to have the prospect of playing with Jack Nicholson. It was a terrific part, a terrific script, with Alexander Payne and Jack Nicholson. You can't get any better than that!

I want to see women onscreen the way I see them in society.
