I hope I look skinnier in 3D. I hope I don't look three times as fat. That'll be disappointing.
From Kathy Bates
Jack made it very comfortable for me on the set. We'd met socially before but never worked together. You know, he's very professional, very disciplined and he's always prepared and knows his lines.
Alexander Payne's very specific. His scripts are always complete when you start working on them.
The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.
For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.
I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.
After winning the Oscar, I was committed to do 'Fried Green Tomatoes,' but I didn't know what the next thing would be after that. It was a scary time. But the advantage of TV is the regular work. All you need is a hit series, I guess.
I want to be defined by my own essence.
I have to pay the bills just like everybody else, but it also pays my soul to work.
