I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. And parts are written better when you're older. When you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. You're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. So I find it just much more liberating.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.

I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.

I love working closely with people.

Fear, anxiety and neurosis: that's just in the suitcase when you're an actor.

Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.

Cancer is so much bigger than a TV show.
