I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that.

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

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 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 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 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.
