I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.

The only power you have is the word no.

Not everything comes along just when you want it. There are times when choices just have to be made or you'll simply miss out.

I don't need a director who's 'good with actors.'...A master manipulator is heaven.
