But I'm attracted to roles where I get to really go in and explore a character.

The more we deny that we have a dark side, the more power it has over us.

I just found out last week - my sister told me - that my father had some Beatles records. So I must have heard them quite a bit, but it never registered, really. Now I listen to them with new ears.

I just turned 30 so I got really introspective as you do, questioning my life. And when I stopped and sort of looked back at the past decade, I realized I had done more work than I thought I had done.

It's almost as if we each have a vampire inside us. Controlling that beast, that dark side, is what fascinates me.

And in the middle of one of those scenes, I suddenly felt my heart just open: it was overwhelming, to the point where I got teary-eyed. Never would I have thought anything like that could happen in a love scene.

Apparently I'm the most naked that anyone's been on TNT. My poor mother. I'm ready to run away.
