There's a side of my personality that goes completely against the educated & serious woman. The side who wants to be a pin-up girl in garages all across America!

I had started off, before I ever got an acting job, working at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions as a reader. I was always interested in that side of the camera.

Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like.

I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.

The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.

I'm doing things that are more artistic again, more close to the material that I love. I don't disparage those things that I did. They're just not as much reflective of who I am.

Acting is doing, because everything you say or do is some kind of an action, some kind of a verb. You're always connected to the other person through some kind of action.
