A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.

I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.

Most of the time, you find that the smaller the budget, the more the project is about something substantive.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

I used to be a rabid reader, but now it's scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can't drop the ball.

So many of my friends, old friends I haven't seen in years, made their way out there and got lost, then found their way back. That seems believable to me.

I'm in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.
