I don't choose my projects based on genre, I choose them based on the role and whether or not I've tackled that yet, based on the director and such.

Even when I was a kid, I had this insane head of flaming hair. It looked like a wig.

I've always wanted to do a period piece.

Rooting for the offense is the safe way to go. You win either way.

We don't ask for opinions on our outfit all the time - but for a big of event, like the Emmys, absolutely. I actually sent my sister a picture of the [J Mendel] dress I wore to the Emmys before I chose it, and she was obsessed. She was like, "Oh, I want that." And I said, "Let me wear it first!"

I have a ridiculous fear of sharks but I'd jump in the water in a second for an amazing role.

All the actors I respect, especially old-Hollywood actors, the reason I think so many of them have had long careers is that there is a sort of mystery about them. You don't know what they do on Friday nights when they go home from work. You have no clue. You have this sort of fantasy about them.
