It's very exciting to have fan response and fan reaction.

I love being challenged physically, as an actress.

I didn't tell anybody [had got a role at As Good As It Gets], because I was just going, "Well, that was the strangest audition..." And I just thought, "There's no way he gave me the job on the spot when there was a room full of other girls waiting to audition for it." But then I didn't hear anything for a couple of days, so I finally called my agents, and they're, like, "Oh, yeah, congratulations! We know Jim [L.Brooks] told you in the room that you got it."

But I never worked with a northern horse before. They are very different from western horses.

I've had a career where I've bounced around a lot between different genres, and I feel very lucky and very blessed that that's happened to me.

[Payne] was a really great experience, and both John [ Larroquette] and JoBeth [Williams] over the years, it's been great reconnecting with them and working with them on other projects as well.

I would love to re-visit Darla. I miss her. I really do.
