I was lucky enough to be in some movies where I had powerful characters or I got to be the president on TV for a little while. Very short administration.

[My aunt] took me to my first play, too, which was dinner theater. I don't know if they have that in England, but you eat a dinner while you watch a play. And she ordered a glass of wine. I was like, "Oh my God. This is, like, the most sophisticated thing I have ever done."

Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows... I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.

Because I had some roles that resonated with women, I immediately noticed that there were far more male characters than female characters in what we're showing little kids in the 21st century, which was stunning to me. But I couldn't find anybody else who noticed.

Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.

It's okay if it takes two or three years for something really good to come along, but I don't want to wait ten years for something great to come along.

Having a very complicated life, or a lot of problems, or a lot of flaws, is always great to play.
