I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.

I will be always grateful to NBC.

I think that's really risky to make yourself unsexy, because the business demands that women be sexy.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

For a lot of people, if they're lucky, it begins with somebody who recognizes something in them.
