When my friends have a health concern, they call me. Ive always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants, and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.

I've joked that I would have either become schizophrenic or an actress, but as an actress you can do both.

I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

I think I'm always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it's more successful than others.

I always think a good sports movie is emblematic in the same way that a great Greek tragedy really has a certain kind of structure, or a Shakespearean play if you're looking at a comedy or a tragedy, is that these are the heights and depths of human emotion.

As an actor, you're naked emotionally; you're revealing yourself emotionally.
