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

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

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.

Insecurity is just something that's there all the time. I've never been crippled by it.

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.

The movies I usually do are maybe three or four weeks because they don't have a lot of money.

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