What I'd really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.

I can understand in some sense, having played the character, how unimaginably frustrating it is for people to tell you that you can't love who you love, because you ain't going to change it, and so they have to get out of your way

Well, usually when I finish one character, I'm looking for a role that's really different.

I really like the idea of restaurant life, especially in New York where everyone has small apartments - that restaurant culture where you sit at a table for a long time and the afternoon goes by and you're kind of living there. I like that more than nightlife.

I've never been one for sitting on beaches. Let me tell you who I am: I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York and worked in a bar while trying to make a living at what I really wanted to do, which was act.

I can only pay my electric bill for my last two years on my acting.

To me, a great love story is a great love story, and it doesn't matter what gender is involved.
