My only requirement for life is that I don't get stuck in a rut.

I don't think many people were, but I love the black, the tassels and the leather, obviously. I'm still wearing that. I haven't let go of that. I love all things leather, and so I love that from her outfits as well. But I don't know if I would necessarily do the Mozart top, the button down, the 'Hot For Teacher' kind of look. That's not really my thing. I would let that one go.

I don't mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I'm not self-conscious.

A perfect schedule is to be able to do something dark and then go into something lighter to ease up a little bit.

It's definitely been a conscious decision to seek out roles that are different, in any way, from anything that I've done, just to prove to myself that I can do it and to challenge myself. If I can, then great, it will open up those doors and just prove to other directors and peers that I am, in fact, available for things other than comedy.

I love women like Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, who kind of go out on a limb and do their own thing. I find it very inspiring and it allows you to do what you want to do.

A lot of big studio films, which are fun and great, tend to have a formula, and you've seen it before, and it's a new version of it.
