Actors are very generous.

I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.

It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.

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.

You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have and stop begrudging the ones you never got to make.
