The celebrity-making machine-photographers, paparazzi, press and stuff like that-can be ruthless.

The movies I'm in not a lot of people see, but it's alright.

I don't think I'm very ambitious at all. But I seem to play people who have that quality.

I've worked with a lot of great directors.

Sometimes it just doesn't translate to people. You just move on, and you feel bad because people worked so hard on it and everyone loved it... Everybody was treated so well and was going for something and trying to do the best work possible.

I encounter really tough men and women who are just so harsh, you can't bend them. You do come across these kinds of people in every profession-just unyielding.

If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew.
