Whether you're on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can't settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

I'm mostly a jazz fan and I've never really been into rock 'n' roll music — although I guess Coldplay isn't really rock 'n' roll — but he's made me a convert. I do go to their concerts whenever we're in the same town and I don't even have to wear earplugs any more, which I did in the beginning.

Part of me says that no life will work if I can't make this one right.

Film has always been hard for me, I'm basically a stage actress. I never felt comfortable in front of the camera.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

I'm not an actor who can constantly pick and choose, I try to get the best of what's there.
