I think the people who cast films tend to think of me in regard to strong women with integrity and a lot of it has been very good.

Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful, even if it was just vicariously.

I was a very good girl for a long time, that's what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous, to be sad, to be angry, to be all these different things.

I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.

I think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it.

I just try and do the best with every role I get to do. Hopefully the experience in itself is a good experience and people will want to work with me.

I think that I do separate myself a fair amount. And I don't feel like I am representing women. That's up to however people interpret it once they sort of see it.
