Jean Grey, the Phoenix... she finds a way to reincarnate herself constantly, so one never knows.

It's never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you're the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.

I'm a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you'll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you've got to go for it.

There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.

Every single time when you act in a film, and there's a different director, which of course as actors we're used to experiencing that's what we do, it's a different experience.
