I haven't talked much about being an ovarian cancer survivor because I don't really want to define myself that way.

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.

I was a Stephen King fan and I was amazed that I got the chance to play that role and very glad that I did.

The problem I have these days is that women are often cast in a role - as a police officer, for example - and then are invariably perceived by the other characters as succeeding in a man's job, as if they're doing it in spite of being women.

You hope that the same people are coming back. I love playing with Angela [Bassett]. She's fierce. I met her years and years ago when she was a student at Yale, so to see her do these fierce roles and go on to [be] this powerhouse has just been awesome.

I went from years of honing my craft to sudden recognition. It was quite a life changer.

I have always had a problem with my weight.
