Most times when people pitch you as being perfect for a part... they don't look at you as an actor who can transform. A lot of people are so literal.

These days there are a lot of people who just want to be famous. I think that comes from a naive place, because those people generally don't know what it's like.

I was a waitress. I was pretty good at it. I liked to solve those puzzles-you know, when to put the dinner order in, that sort of thing.

I... had guys on the set who didn't like me... they weren't interested in the cold character.

I'm unqualified for anything else. I'm barely qualified for this.

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.

If you give a character room to breathe, they come alive.
