I come from musical theater, and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy. I think it is more about just being open and accepting.

I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

I always have directors who are somewhat frustrated because they'll reference a beautifully obscure film from the '50s or '60s or '70s, and I've not seen it.

My job as an actress is to make things work and come up with reasons of my own and not just fill in the blanks for anybody else, you know what I mean?

I think there are certain people that you'll always want to impress no matter how much success you have.

The illusion of perfection is an illusion anyway.
