It's really kind of a luxury for an actor to have the opportunity to show such different types of characters. I actually left 'Cowboys & Aliens' and went straight into 'The Change-Up.' It was kind of a funny change of pace.

I'm a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette.

I think there was no other profession for me. I was either going into an insane asylum or to be an actor.

In Alien, Sigourney Weaver's role was written for a man. In Salt, Angelina Jolie's role was written for Tom Cruise. These things, when reversed, do prove to be just as exciting and entertaining with women in leading roles.

I've thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the '70s. The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits.

Not eating meat really keeps me trim....meat, and what's usually served with it, is a big calorie packer.

Many casting directors won't hire aspiring actors because you might be burning some chick's headshot under the table so she doesn't get the part.
