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

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

My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.

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

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

I've been very lucky. I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't really have the drive to sell myself. Fortunately I had a terrific agent in New York who kept me going from job to job.
