Everyone who's ever met Guillermo Del Toro knows that he's the most generous, creative, mind-bogglingly wonderful man. And I was so lucky that he had seen Storytelling and he asked me to do Hellboy. And then I watched Devil's Backbone and I was blown away.

I'm older and have a kid, I like success on my own, but I always enjoyed all my parts playing the fifth wheel. I mean, just loved it. There was such freedom in it and I still got to enjoy watching everyone work.

Perhaps I have managed some sort of longevity because I haven't won the lead roles.

I'm flatchested, I'm short, I'm brunette, I have droopy eyes, and so people have a hard time casting me as a 'beauty.'

The whole point to life-that you have to experience yourself, but then when you do you realize that you've learned so much from the bad things that sometimes they're better than the good things.

I don't have the pressure of being a world-famous bombshell that has detonated.

I think we all feel like misfits when we open our mouth sometimes, you know?
