I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.

It's hard to negotiate the present landscape with a brain and a female body.

I say to myself, 'I don't know how to act - and why does anybody want to look at me on-screen anymore?' ... Lots of actors feel that way. What gives you strength is also your weakness - your raging insecurity.

I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

When criticism comes your way as an actor they are not criticizing your writing or your painting or your piece, they are criticizing you! It is hard to put that away in a place where you are not hurt.

The thing that you have to fight the most when you lose is you feel like the biggest failure in the world.
