Sometimes it's a bizarre, fairly cold, and horrifying thing to be a parent.

Shooting guns is not something I would do in my spare time.

I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career. I should have been a doctor. If you play certain parts you have this nice face painted on you, and then you have feel as if you have a responsibility to this idea of being beautiful. I hate that about our business.

I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.

There's nothing more exciting for an actor than a chance to lose, to be someone who has lost - especially if it's someone who starts off with a veneer of control. To be broken is wonderful.

I'm 40 next year and I'm very well aware that where I am now, it becomes a bit of a wilderness for actresses.

For me, horror movies are a real escape.
