And I'm not very coordinated, either. Only on ice skates, not in real life.

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.

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."

If you're offered something, you're not really sure exactly what is that they saw in you that they think is the character so it's a little scary, I feel.

We shot [Hi Honey, I'm Home] on location in Orlando, Florida, so I was there by myself. And I remember I was late one day, and Gale Gordon pulled me aside, and he said, "Honey, when it says you have to be here at 10 a.m., you need to be here at 9:30." And ever since, I've always been a half-hour early to my call time!

You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.

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