There has to be this balance of reality for a woman. I don't want to play women who just serve a purpose for the script.

I'm not homely enough to play the nerdy girl and not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl.

I find that the vast majority of people who are judging are just fearful or insecure.

I just don't ever want to play the girlfriend. You know, the supporting character in the background who just sort of comes in and goes, "Oh, shucks." It's just a boring character.

I loved Veronica right off the bat. She was so strong and I think it is so important because there are so few shows that portray women, especially young women as being strong and being able to stand up for themselves.

The funny thing is that I'm not a planner. I have no idea what I want to do in the interim of that 50 years, but I tell ya: That's where you'll find me in my last performance.

I think that American audiences are more used to following one character.
