You think that adulthood will hit and you'll suddenly be more capable. But that doesn't happen, ever, does it?

One of the things I love about acting is that I can enter into these other people's lives. But going back to being me at the end of the day is very important, too. That process of remembering who I am.

You always want your films to go as far as they can.

Comedy was why I got into acting the first place. Peter Sellers was a huge influence on my wanting to act. I grew up with him and found him hysterical. The Pink Panther films were an inspiration, from my earliest childhood days, when I was watching them with my brother and my dad.

You can't be a woman and not be a feminist, I don't think. If you care about the world and the world you exist in and your rights.

My feet are like something from another age - prehistoric and troll-like. I keep expecting them to talk, they have that much character.

I sort of fall in love with every character I do; you have to understand how they became what they've become, whether they're the ugly kind or the very beautiful kinds of characters.
