Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.

Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.

Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'

I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!

I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
