I've always thought that less was a lot more.

At the beginning of every role I take, I have to start from basics and build it up. It's like a new construction.

I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.

When I feel lost and can't make a decision, I just stop and get quiet. I take a time-out.

I realized that so much of the pressure I was feeling was from outside sources, and I knew I wasn't ready to take that step into motherhood. [...] Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around.

I'm not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.

When I got out of my Twenties I stopped playing women that were victims. I like playing women who are strong and have a piece of mind.
