I love working closely with people.

With big, emotional roles it's very easy, especially if you've grown up in the American school of acting, to exploit your own pain. You have to be careful about that, because 9 times out of 10, your pain is not appropriate to the character.

What I find so interesting about people is the choices they make, and how that effects their behavior, their sense of self and their relationships.

The thing about death is that it's honest. I go to things that have a core of honesty about them and there's nothing more honest than death.

Courtroom dramas can be boring.

I know what people want to hear is the connection with the son, Roger, when you have a child. I would love to tell that there was an epiphany as to what it is to be a mom, but I didn't feel any difference there.

You know when someone's over-flattering you in a way. You smile but you can't believe it.
