I have always had a problem with my weight.

 My 14-year-old grandniece is not allowed to watch 'American Horror Story' yet.

I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.

I want to see women onscreen the way I see them in society.

After winning the Oscar, I was committed to do 'Fried Green Tomatoes,' but I didn't know what the next thing would be after that. It was a scary time. But the advantage of TV is the regular work. All you need is a hit series, I guess.

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

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