I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy.

I love Ron Howard, he's a wonderful director, incredibly prepared. But I have to criticize my performance in that movie. It all took place in one day. My character was having a bad day, so she's having a bad day throughout the whole movie. But this was a comedy, and I think I was too serious, too dense. Yes, I think that describes my failure there.

It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at every little thing you do.

I don't think the tabloids find me very interesting.

As an actor, I go where the good writing is. That's the bottom line.

I don't have the body or the face for romantic comedies, so I've never been offered those. The challenge is that a lot of people see you only as your last character, so you're constantly competing with whatever your last movie was.

There's something about a catharsis that is very important.
