My father was a director, and he used to always tell me, "You should be an actress." When I was 17, he gave me a job so that I'd be in the union.

I don't like violence.

I had to accept the fact that sometimes things happen that are out of our hands.

I've never played a character that would sing.

I made a living being a background singer for years.

It's so weird that I play this woman who pretty much deals with violence on a daily basis, and I'm such a wimp in who I am.

So you know, my plan was that I was going to make records, and be a rock star. And that's really what I wanted to do. And I sang from the time I was very young.
