Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.

I think the worst thing that can happen to a good actor is fame.

I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.

Honesty is not synonymous with truth.

My personality is just innately even-keeled. I'm not such a huge daredevil. Which is not to say I'm not a passionate woman. I don't know, maybe it's my physiological makeup, but I don't like the feeling of anything in my system, other than a glass of wine now and then.

I just wanted to make sure that yes, that those horror - they worked as a genre. To me, I just wanted to be touched by the film in the way that I saw plausible. Which is the story about compassion - giving and receiving it in those desperate times of need.

You know what's more difficult to do organically? Laughing. It's actually one of the hardest things to do on camera.
