There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.

You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.

That's my way in the very beginning - how to enter it [a role]. Very quickly in the process, I don't think about voice being separate from the way you hold your head or the way you sit or the way you put on lipstick. It's all a piece of a person, and it's all driven by conviction.

I had a number of great teachers and the ones that really were the strongest influences on me were women. They were really, really smart and interesting women.

I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.

I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.

How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.
