For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.

I heard I'm going to have scenes with Lady Gaga so I'm hoping it's true. I know of one scene I have.

I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.

I'm a horror movie fan to begin with, so to come back to the genre, I feel like horror has been very good to me.

I can sit here on the couch and hear you say, "You're very feminine and very attractive," but I have always struggled with that.

The relationship to the director is becoming more crucial to me, making sure there are some common goals. I haven't been in the kind of position where my roles have been chosen for me, where someone says, "First we'll do this and then we'll do this," and it's all part of some master plan.

I try to always stretch myself to fit the characters that have been presented.
