I was always much more shy. All I knew was that I loved to act. But I don't know about the other part of it. I'm not sure I had the chutzpah to go and prove yourself.

Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.

I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I'd think, tonight I'm going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance.

I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times. We all do.

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 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.

I don't have a political bone in my body.
