It's such a joy to be able to play someone who is angry. It's a joy and a relief. Having to be nice all the time is exhausting and boring.

I'm a good actress. That's why you know me as likable.

Comedy is wonderful when you really nail it and you hear people laughing, but it's not always that easy.

I had prepared myself for the second half of my life [to be] filled with other passions that don't include being in front of the camera. And then all of a sudden I got more work and more work and more work. And I went, "Well maybe things have shifted." And I think they have.

I was always incredibly driven and found it impossible to relax. I felt that if I slacked off for a minute to enjoy myself, then so many things would be missed.

I can't selfishly take journeys anymore because I have to take a little boy along with me.

I would love to be on 'Top Gear' as a star in a reasonably priced car.
