As an actor, I've learned to become a detective. You have to figure out who that person is. If the character is a thief, you have to figure out what makes them a thief. Whatever the prevailing idiosyncrasy is, I have to find it in the script.

I'm not trying to be a different weight. I want to be a different body type so that I'm not an apple. I just want to be a pear!

I like a person who knows how to say something dark at a very dark moment. The darker the moment and the darker the comic, the better. Something that is so wrong on all levels.

I'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.

Everything happens when it's supposed to.

As we women know, there are so many other hurdles that we have to cross that I would love it if we could stop having the race conversation so that we can get women further on. You know, a female president now that we have an African American president. Maybe we can get an Asian female, a gay person?

Every character I get to play has some element of who I am, but there's no fun in playing yourself. At least, for me, there isn't.
