I consider myself a character actress, and that's working out. I'm getting chances to do things. I like the process - I don't want to pretend I'm something other than what I am.

I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.

Marriage has just never interested me.

Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her, and one for them together.

There is an eternal humanity that crosses through all people, and it's more interesting often when it's about struggle - not people with champagne glasses.

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.

Success as a woman has changed me. That's what I feel is the first thing. When I feel like a successful woman as a rounded human being, then it feeds my work in a broader way so it becomes more interesting.
