To play Cleopatra on Broadway would just be incredible.

It's not often that you get a chance in one role to do the glamour bit and then strip off all the makeup and reveal the real person beneath the façade. Usually, it's either a glamorous role or a raw, emotional role.

I think all characters that we play are facets of ourselves.

I try not to define myself. Other people are going to do that for you anyway.

Different fragrances promote different emotions, and I find that fragrance gets me in the frame of mind for that person.

I'm not turning my back on classical theater. It's all about opportunities and timing a lot of the time when things come up.

But when you become a slave to a public persona and don’t feel comfortable without it, it becomes a shield and it shouldn’t come at the expense of your self-worth.
