I'm not a show-off; I'm not an exhibitionist.

I hate to say that my mother was 'just a housewife', because in addition to that she has had lots of part-time secretarial jobs in factories and hospitals, always working really hard for our family.

I'd love to work on a real girl piece with some fabulous actresses. I feel like I've worked with so many men.

Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it's just not happening, and I feel like that's how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works.

Every job feels like my first.

When it comes to my work, I'm fearless. I go with my gut.

Women do well in their thirties. They put their bags down and say, 'This is who I am - like it or lump it.' There is a more relaxed quality, which I like.
