I'm no Ripley. I had doubts that I could play her as strongly as she had to be played, but I must say that it was fun exploring that side of myself. Women don't get to do that very often.

I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.

I consider myself very much a team player.

I love playing an alien.

When I went to Yale, I thought it would be like in Stenford 24 hours a day. Robert Brustein, former dean of the Yale School of Drama and founder of the Yale Repertory Theater was there, and we did all this very serious - I would go so far as to say completely humorless - Eastern European drama, as well as August Strindberg, and Henrik Ibsen, we weren't allowed to do William Shakespeare or Tennessee Williams or Eugene O'Neill. I was not in the right place.

I'm very happy with the opportunities I've had.
