My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray; on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.

The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.

Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.

I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.

It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.
