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

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 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.

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