I usually feel like the role comes to you to sort of illuminate some piece of where you are in your life. I feel like I myself am a single woman and I'm childless - by choice - at this point, and I don't know what will happen.

I personally think it would be a very liberating thing for women to allow themselves to understand that having it all incorporates sacrifice. It does mean that you can't be everywhere all the time. It does mean that your friends are not going to get all of you.

All my friends went to the Madonna concert when I was in, maybe, the 9th grade, and my mother refused to let me go.

That is my reality. It's that important to nurture and foster my own creativity. There are plenty of birthday parties I haven't been able to go to, weddings I haven't been able to go to because I've been working. Those are things that have not been easy to give up, but at the same time, it is my reality. It's my responsibility.

I'm interested in telling the character's story, not my beliefs, political or otherwise.

Acting is doing. The more you do, the more you learn. Work begets work.

If I had my druthers, I would be working in all different mediums, forever.
