I'm hard to pin down. I tend to look different in films.

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

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.

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.
