It is a huge amount of pressure playing someone like Valerie Plame-Wilson. First of all who she is and what she's done is wildly intimidating and impressive. It is just scary to take on that responsibility, and you want to honor her story, an incredible story that affected us all. She is often doing things that were confusing to me, like her sexual prowess. I think that she is in a lot of pain and she has been really badly wounded along the way. She doesn't hold men in the highest regard... not just men but people.

I think when a man sees a woman who knows what she wants it can be scary, but it can also be tempting.

We're all the same, we all think its better somewhere else; its better being older if you're younger - or its better being younger when we're older.
