I think substitution is a huge part of acting, but I don't personalise my work that much.

I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out. So I never had milk teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous.

There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something that they're not.

I think it's interesting that women, by nature, are way more conflicted than men.

We value men more than women... straight love more than gay love... white skin more than black skin... and adults more than adolescents.

And I do think that earlier in my career, I did make a very conscious decision to make sure that I was doing work that wasn't necessarily given to me, and that people didn't necessarily think that I would be able to do.

So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I'm at a place in my career now where I don't necessarily fret about that too much anymore.
